The Option That Would Fail
Captions available
The idea
Remorseful would fail. So would grief-stricken. Nothing in the monologue mourns, and the speed of his return to business rules both out. Candidates select them because a widower discussing a dead wife suggests grief, which is the trap of answering from the subject.
In practice
Nothing here is mourning.
Where people slip
The subject suggests grief; the manner denies it.
