Question

dr. liv was filled with excitement and hope as she stepped onto the alien world. ned felt fear in the pit of his stomach as he followed her. what does this show about the characters? dr liv is polite and kind is seldom scared. dr liv is excited and hopeful, and ned is scared. dr liv is stubborn and sad, and ned is cheerful.

Explanation:

The text says Dr. Liv was "filled with excitement and hope" and Ned "felt fear". We check each option: First option's "polite and kind" isn't supported. Third option's "stubborn and sad" (Dr. Liv) and "cheerful" (Ned) don't match. Second option matches the descriptions.

Answer:

B. Dr. Liv is excited and hopeful, and Ned is scared (assuming the middle option is labeled B; if options are unlabeled, it's the middle option)
