Question

3. Why was the narrator panic-stricken while they were waiting for the asparagus
to be cooked?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The narrator was panic-stricken while they were waiting for the asparagus to be cooked because the asparagus was very expensive and now, it was not a question how much money he would have leftover for the rest of the month, but whether he had enough money to pay the bill.
