Read this excerpt from a short story. Then, answer the questions that follow.

From the day Danny Bannerman transferred to Spencerville High School, he was popular with the other students. A talented athlete with a good sense of humor, he immediately became friendly with several boys in his classes and on the sports teams that he joined. The girls flocked around him too, delighted by his good looks and outgoing manner. Nevertheless, though he was friendly enough, Danny never singled out any one girl for special attention. Daniela Marlowe moved to Spencerville a few months after Danny. For her, the transition to a new high school was far more difficult. A smart and sweet-faced girl, she was unfortunately rather shy, drawing little attention from fellow students in such a big school. Moreover, because she had to work part-time to help out at home, she joined no after-school clubs or sports teams where she might find friends.

Based on the details in the selection, which of these predictions seems most likely to happen?
A. Danny and Daniela will never meet and become friends.
B. Danny and Daniela will dislike each other when they meet.
C. Daniela will be jealous of Danny and behave spitefully toward him.
D. Danny will take a romantic interest in Daniela.

Respuesta :

I believe its most likely A. Based on what Danny does, and compared to what Daniela does, she probably won't necessarily meet Danny. B and C doesn't make too much sense, because we can see that Danny is friendly, and probably doesn't hate anyone. For option C, there isn't enough evidence that can support that Daniela would be jealous. She is rather shy, and if she doesn't know many people, she wouldn't be too jealous. For option D, it doesn't make too much sense either, although it is a better possibility than B and C, because Danny doesn't ever give anyone special attention. Hope this helps! :D
