Lia squirmed in her seat as she waited for her turn. She didn’t think she could get through this! It was a lot of pressure. She
looked at the crowd and saw expectant faces turned towards the stage. She gulped audibly, and the person next to her gave her a look. She smiled sheepishly and ducked her head to hide her blushing face. She was just about to gather enough courage to leave when the presenter called her up. It was her turn. What was Lia most likely being called to do at the end of the passage above?
A.
to perform on stage
B.
to sign up for the school’s play
C.
to answer the teacher’s question
D.
to volunteer for the school’s food driv
