Question

Read the excerpt from Outcasts United. Luma ordered him to stand in goal. She took off her shoes as the boy waited beneath the crossbar, rocking back and forth and growing more anxious by the moment. She asked for a ball, which she placed on the grass. Then, barefoot, as the team looked on, she blasted a shot directly at the boy, who dove out of the way as the ball rocketed into the net. Luma turned toward her team. "Anybody else?" she asked. Take a look at this chart of Luma’s actions listed in chronological order. Which sentence best fills in the blank? She asks for the ball. She hears the boy talking about her. She shows off her ball skills. She rocks back and forth.

While from the question there is no blank space available, it's safe to say when relating the options to the excerpt, the one that best explains what is happening in the text is that she shows him her ball skills.

Explanation: She was said to have heard him talking about her and probably her ball skills and decided to prove him wrong. That was why she asked him to stand as a goalkeeper.
