Explanation:

Analyze Part A (Question 3)

The passage describes Lily, a dedicated dancer preparing for a major audition. Her mother expresses concern that she is working too hard and needs perspective, stating there are other things in life. Lily reacts defensively, prioritizing her audition above all else. However, during the audition, she experiences a realization: "She finally understood that her dream had already come true. She was a ballerina dancing on a stage, and she was doing what she loved and the people she loved most in the world were there to see it." This shows she realizes that her passion and the support of her loved ones are what truly matter, rather than just the competitive outcome. Thus, the theme is that passion and relationships are more important than external success. This matches the third option: "Passion can sometimes get in the way of relationships with family and friends" (or a variation emphasizing that doing what one loves with family support is the true reward). Looking closely at the options:

• Option 1: Hard work is bound to result in success...
• Option 2: Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice relationships...
• Option 3: Pride can sometimes get in the way of relationships with family and friends.
• Option 4: Success is defined by doing what you love with support from loved ones.

The fourth option best captures the resolution of the story where she realizes she is already successful because she is doing what she loves with her family watching.

Analyze Part B (Question 4)

We need the evidence that supports the theme identified in Part A.
The final paragraph contains the key realization: "She finally understood that her dream had already come true. She was a ballerina dancing on a stage, and she was doing what she loved and the people she loved most in the world were there to see it."
This matches the second option in Part B: "She was doing what she loved and the people she loved most in the world were there to see it. She knew then that no matter how the audition turned out, she was a star to them."
