Question

i take a deep breath. \ms. w., its a really cool project. i can make a video, which needs a script and a shot list and a plan—thats all writing. i can give you copies of that stuff. its probably way more work than just writing a regular assignment or anything.\ inside, im crossing everything—fingers, toes, eyes—and trying to calm my racing heart and brain. what if she says no? what do i do then?
how does heather try to convince ms. walker to agree to her idea?
a) she explains that her project will involve a lot of writing
b) she explains that she will share the movie with the school.
c) she describes how cool the film festival is going to be.
d) she describes how writing a script is just like taking a test.

Explanation:

To determine how Violet tries to convince Ms. Walker, we analyze the text and options:

• The first option: The text says Violet explains her project involves a lot of writing (script, shot list, plan), matching this option.
• The second option: There's no mention of showing the movie with the school.
• The third option: No description of the film festival's "coolness" to convince.
• The fourth option: Writing a script is not like taking a test (the text emphasizes it's more work than a regular assignment, not similar to a test).

So the correct option is the one about explaining the project involves a lot of writing.

Answer:

A. She explains that her project will involve a lot of writing
