Question

read the paragraph. then answer the question.
\hannah, hannah! its your turn to audition,\ calls the stage manager. grace wishes her good luck, and then hannah quickly gets up and walks over to where the stage manager is standing. he takes hannah into the room, and he introduces her to the director and the choreographer. they ask hannah whether or not she has ever been in any plays or musicals. she tells them about the school plays she has been in and about all the dance classes she has taken.
what do you predict will happen next?

• the director will ask hannah to go ahead and do the act that she has prepared.
• the director will ask hannah to leave without even seeing her audition act.
• hannah will run out of the room crying because she is too nervous to try out.
• hannah will suddenly lose her voice and not be able to sing her audition song.

Explanation:

In the context of an audition, after being introduced to the director and choreographer and sharing her experience, the most logical next step is that the director will ask her to perform her prepared act. The other options (being asked to leave, running out crying, losing her voice) are less consistent with the typical audition process described here.

Answer:

A. The director will ask Hannah to go ahead and do the act that she has prepared.
