W: Has my order arrived yet? I have been expecting it last week.
M: I called the company this morning. They had some labor problems, so your order will be shipped late. It should be here by the end of the week.
Q: What has caused the delay of the shipment?

M: Liz, I just found out I have a meeting and I can’t pick up the kids after their soccer practice. Would you be able to pick them up in time?
W: Yes, that won’t be a problem. I think I can finish early today.
Q: Why does the man say he can’t pick up the kids?
