Could you explain why you were late?

I'm truly sorry for being late to class. Due to a traffic accident, the bus route changed, and I ended up in an unfamiliar place, which took me some time to get back from.

1. You could also use BECAUSE OF here to explain the reason.

I see. Well, these things can't be helped, I suppose. I'm glad you're here now. How did you find your homework?

Yes, I've solved all the example problems in Chapter 3 of the textbook. However, there are a few points I'm not sure about and want to ask. Did we already cover Chapter 3?

1. There was no YES/NO question.
2, 4. A CHAPTER is usually in a novel rather than a TEXTBOOK, which usually has UNITS.
3. We ask ABOUT something. It's okay to repeat this word.

Yes! I'll do my best to assist you with any questions you have on Chapter 3. Feel free to ask away!

Thanks!
I thought Chapter 3 was a passage for English reading comprehension, about the history of medieval Europe. I don't understand why the answer to question 2 is A, so could you explain it to me?

1. See explanation 2. in #4 above.

Chapter 3 being about medieval European history does seem unexpected for this class. Let's see if we can figure out why question 2 is A together. Can you tell me what the question and the answer choices are?

Oh, really?
I might have misunderstood the scope of the homework.
Question 2 asked for the name of the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
I thought it was Constantinople, but why is Istanbul the correct answer?

自然な表現

1. You could also use RIGHT here.

You're right on track! Constantinople is indeed the correct answer for the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Today, the city is known as Istanbul, but throughout the Byzantine era (330-1453), it was called Constantinople. The name change reflects the city's long and fascinating history. Is that clear?

I understand well, thank you very much! By the way, was there any other homework besides chapter 3? I might have gotten the scope of the homework wrong.

1. Another adverb is usually used here.
2. See 2. in #4 above.
