During a visit to Mexico, Jada was thirsty and wanted to buy a drink. It was the middle of the day, yet Jada could not find a store that was open. What best explains why Jada could not find an open store?
Answers
The answer is the shops were closed for the siesta time.
Reasoning
⊕ Siesta is a short nap taken after the midday meal.
⊕ In hot and warm countries like Mexico, people have the habit of taking siesta, after lunch, to save energy from the hot climate.
⊕ All the shops are usually closed during this time.
⊕ Even government employees used to take siesta, by going home for 2 to 3 hours.
⊕ The Mexican government abolished the siesta on June 1, 1944.
⊕ But the practice is still followed in certain places especially in rural areas.
