Explanation:

Question 1

The class was told to think about their favorite subject after Ms. Findelton shared hers. So when they mumbled, it's likely about their favorite subjects. Option A is about recess (not related), C about classroom decorations (no mention), D about lunch menu (no mention). So B is correct.

The sentence "Naomi’s hand shot up immediately" shows she was eager to share when asked about favorite subject (science). Option B (nervous) doesn't fit as she was quick to raise hand, C (not sure) is wrong, D (doesn't want to be called) is opposite. So A is correct.

"Chatter" in the context of the class mumbling and then Ms. Findelton breaking it means talking (casual, low - level talking). A (smiling) is action, C (whispering) is too quiet, D (yelling) is loud. So B is correct.

Answer:

B. their favorite subjects
