Multiple choice

I clearly recall the day when I had an argument with one of my colleagues, which eventually became the reason for my getting sacked. The moment I had entered his room, he started blaming me for something that I had no clue about. I reacted aggressively and instinctively throwing the file in my hand in his direction. Two days later I got a notice in my mailbox, which stated that my services were no longer required by the company. I still believe things could have been different if only he hadn't blamed me in the first place without knowing my version.

The two statements offer

  1. a rendition and a pretext

  2. a narration and a retrospection

  3. a muse and an excuse
