A friend explains why they took the long route home. Find the question that makes this answer a natural response.

Your challenge: The answer is shown above. Your job is to ask the question that would naturally produce it.

1. Ask. Form a why-question, then ask what happened as a result of the diversion.
2. Say it aloud. Try your question as a real conversation starter, not a grammar exercise.
3. Extend. Give a plausible alternative answer to your own question.

Extra challenge: Can you think of a second, different question that could also lead to the original answer?
