प्रश्न
Bill Bryson says, “I am, in short, easily confused.” What examples has he given to justify this?
उत्तर
Bill Bryson claimed that he was easily confused. Many times he went looking for the lavatory in a cinema and ended up standing in an alley on the wrong side of a self-locking door. He said that his specialty was returning to hotel desks two or three times a day and asking what his room number was. That is why he said that he was easily confused.
