Question

Read the passage from "The Quinceanera.”

The next thing I knew, the alarm on my phone rang, startling me out of a daze. It was 12:30, time for me to leave! In a rush of misery I realized I had to make a choice: get my sister’s gift or make it to my movie on time. A quick look at the jewelry reminded me that there wasn’t anything here I thought she’d like anyhow. But I had to get her something! And then it hit me. My sister liked movies – I could get her movie tickets at the theatre, or a gift certificate she could use whenever she wanted!

The reader can logically predict that the narrator will most likely

regret his decision and go back to the jewelry store.
get involved with his friends and the movie and forget the gift.
watch the movie and then buy his sister a gift she will enjoy.
stay late with his friends and arrive late to the party.

Answer 1

We can start by eliminating A "regret his decision and go back to the jewelry store." because, they are talking about her liking movies.

B "get involved with his friends and the movie and forget the gift." can get eliminated because they are clearly buying her a gift not forgetting it, so it would make no sense to forget the gift. even though it talks about the movies it has nothing to do with anything.

D "stay late with his friends and arrive late to the party." It doesn't talk about a party so it would be pointless to choose this, it is not involved with a party.

The only correct answer would be C "watch the movie and then buy his sister a gift she will enjoy." because, it is talking about how their sister likes movies and they will buy her a meaningful gift.
C is correct.
