A friend of this blog , and someone some of you know ( virtually ) died recently . I only received word recently and found it hard to believe . I was going to post this several days ago , but there was a contretemps on the blog and I did n't want to get that confused with this . Now that such issues are largely over , I feel able to post .
According to the above context, choose the best option to answer the following question.
Question: Why is it so hard to believe that someone died ?
Options:
- They were very close to them .
 - They were sick for a long time .
 - It was sudden .
 - It was long and painful .


It was sudden .
