Question

When I finally got the phone call from the producers of the reality TV show "The Coolest Kid in School" telling me I had been accepted as a part of the show's final cast, you’d think that my mom would’ve been happy about it—even proud. I’d shown more initiative in applying for the show than I’d ever shown in trying to improve my grade point average: I’d made an awesome audition tape, filled out a huge 15 page application (including four essays!), and done five different stressful interviews before a panel of producers in order to make the final cut. The phone call informing me that I was on the show was a dream come true for me. But for my mom? No way. She immediately changed her tune from supporting my dream of starring on a reality TV show to doing nothing but questioning it. It’s not so much that she’s opposed to this reality show (focusing on pitting teenagers against one another in a televised popularity contest), it’s all reality shows that she thinks are, in her words, “hate-filled, degrading, and wicked.” She could not be more wrong, though.
Which correctly identifies a detail related to the narrator's showing initiative in applying for the show? Refer to section I.
A) The narrator wrote fifteen essays.
B) The narrator made five awesome audio tapes.
C) The narrator completed five different interviews.
D) The narrator worked to increase he

A) The narrator wrote fifteen essays.

B) The narrator made five awesome audio tapes.

C) The narrator completed five different interviews.

D) The narrator worked to increase her grade point average.

Answer: C) The narrator completed five different interviews.

Explanation:

The narrator recounts having made one audition tape (not five), filling out 15 pages for her application, which included four essays (not fifteen essays), and doing five interviews. All this effort to be chosen for the TV show, she claims, was far more than any previous effort she had made to increase her grade point average.
