Every day after work Paul took his muddy boots off on the steps of the front porch. Alice would have a fit if the boots made it so far as the welcome mat. He then took off his dusty overalls and threw them into a plastic garbage bag; Alice left a new garbage bag tied to the porch railing for him every morning. On his way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine and went straight up the stairs to the shower as he was instructed. He would eat dinner with her after he was "presentable," as Alice had often said.

Based on the text, how do you know Paul works in construction?

• He has tools

The walk to the beach took her half an hour, but it passed by quickly. Tropical birds kept her company, chirping hello from the lush green trees, while neighbors stretching on their front porches waved as Karina passed by. However, once she left her neighborhood and reached the entrance to the tourist resort, the atmosphere completely changed. She began to hear the faint clinking of silverware as the servers set up for breakfast. Early risers from the hotel strolled along the beach, taking pictures of the unforgettable sunrise.
