journals. some explore the ground, some lift rocks, others lift logs.
marshall has binoculars around his neck. novee is already
sketching in her field journal. jordan is looking nervous, worried
that every spider in the park will descend on him.
mr. walden: okay, everybody, listen up. to help you prepare your
mind as you search for a plant or animal you want to draw, i suggest
you try a technique called “find a rainbow.” it will help you lower
your stress, focus, and explore your surroundings in a new way.

d mr. marshall: well done,
jordan.

Explanation:

Conflict's greatest tension moment is when a character's distress is highest. Jordan's panicked "Get it off me! Get it off me!!" shows immediate, intense fear (from a spider likely), which is a peak of conflict tension compared to other lines that are more neutral (like Marshall's claim of nature find, Jordan's calm identification of spider, or Mr. Marshall's praise).

Answer:

B. JORDAN: (panicky) Get it off me! Get it off me!!
