Question

1. use \good enough\ to answer the following question.

the language in paragraph 1 contributes to the mood of the story \good enough\ by -

• building suspense about how joey will perform during the next scrimmage
• creating confusion about how well joey actually performed
• communicating the anxiety joey feels about allowing opposing players to score against his team
• portraying the anger joey combats as he considers the actions of teammates

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze the story "Good Enough" (assuming knowledge of its content). The first paragraph's language likely focuses on Joey's emotions related to his role (e.g., as a goalie) and the anxiety of letting opponents score. Option A is about future scrimmage suspense, which is less about mood from paragraph 1. Option B is about confusion in performance, not matching typical mood focus. Option D is about anger toward teammates, but the story's mood around Joey's own anxiety (about conceding goals) is better captured in Option C.

Answer:

C. communicating the anxiety Joey feels about allowing opposing players to score against his team
