Question

the plot of \seventh grade\ is driven forward mostly by victors

feelings about school.
behavior in french class.
desire to impress teresa.
friendship with michael.

Explanation:

Identify the central conflict and motivation

Victor's primary goal throughout the story "Seventh Grade" is to make Teresa his girlfriend. This internal desire drives all of his major actions, including choosing French class, trying to catch her eye, and pretending to speak French.

Evaluate the options against the plot progression

• "feelings about school" is too general; Victor's focus is specifically on Teresa, not school itself.
• "behavior in French class" is a specific event resulting from his motivation, not the overarching driver of the entire plot.
• "desire to impress Teresa" directly represents his core motivation that initiates and resolves the main conflict.
• "friendship with Michael" is a subplot/supporting element rather than the main driving force of the narrative.

Answer:

• feelings about school.
• behavior in French class.
• desire to impress Teresa. (Correct answer)
• friendship with Michael.
