Question

read the paragraph. then answer the question.
a few hours later, hannah begs her mom to drive her back to the theater to see the casting list. her mom waits in the car while hannah runs up to the door. hannah scans down the paper, the whole time wondering to herself, \will i be cinderella? or maybe the fairy godmother? or maybe even one of the cute mice that are friends with cinderella?\ then she sees it: \hannah: evil stepsister.\ hannah laughs aloud. \well, that wasnt what i expected, but it is an important part after all!\
what do you predict will happen next?

• hannah’s family will move to a new city the next week and she won’t be in the play.
• hannah will scribble out \evil stepsister\ on the sheet and write in \cinderella.\
• hannah will storm off and refuse to be in the play because she isn’t cinderella.
• hannah will gladly play the role of the evil stepsister and have a great time doing it.

Explanation:

Hannah's reaction when she sees her role ("laughs aloud" and says the role is important) shows she accepts it. The first option about moving has no support. The second option (changing the role) goes against her positive reaction. The third option (refusing) also contradicts her response. So she'll be glad to play the evil stepsister.

Answer:

D. Hannah will gladly play the role of the evil stepsister and have a great time doing it.
