I felt that it was a tall order to expect Monisha to go home alone at twelve in the night. A. Difficult B. Too much C. Customary D. Simple

The correct answer is A. Difficult.

A tall order is something that is difficult or demanding to do. In this case, it is difficult to expect Monisha to go home alone at twelve in the night because it is late and there is a risk of her being attacked or robbed.

The other options are incorrect because:

• B. Too much is not the best description of the situation. It is not that Monisha is being asked to do too much, it is that the task is difficult.
• C. Customary is not the best description of the situation. It is not customary for people to go home alone at twelve in the night.
• D. Simple is not the best description of the situation. The task is not simple, it is difficult.
