read the paragraph.

based on the evidence provided in the paragraph, what is the best prediction?

○ devin will sleep through his alarm.
○ devins team will win the tournament.
○ devins garage will be flooded by the rain.
○ devin will be disappointed by the weather.

Explanation:

The paragraph shows Devin was well - prepared for the baseball tournament. But there was heavy rain when his alarm sounded. Rain can disrupt outdoor baseball tournaments. There is no indication he will sleep through the alarm (he was just sleeping soundly before the alarm, but the alarm is a new event). There is no evidence about the team winning or the garage flooding. The rain is likely to disappoint him as it may cancel or affect the tournament.

Answer:

Devin will be disappointed by the weather.
