Why was the male student late? → Because his bicycle got a flat tire.

正解 · Answer

解説 · Why

The question asks for the reason (どうして). The friend's guess ねぼう is denied, and he states he left on time — eliminating two options. The actual cause is the flat tire, which forced him to walk the bike to a shop.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
He pushed the bike to a shop for repair — he wasn't shopping.
He explicitly denies oversleeping (ちがうよ).
He left at the usual time (いつもの じかんに でた).
