Question

Lara is meeting her cousin for the first time, and she cannot wait. Which revised sentence replaces the word happy to show Lara’s feelings more specifically? Lara was happy to meet her cousin at the airport. Lara was willing to meet her cousin at the airport. Lara was excited to meet her cousin at the airport. Lara was pleased to meet her cousin at the airport.

Answer 1

Lara was excited to meet her cousin at the airport.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lara was excited to meet her cousin at the airport.

Explanation:

By reading the first sentence, we can see that Lara "can't wait" to meet his cousin for the first time. This phrase already gives us a clue, a word that shows a lot of enthusiasm and eagerness is the one that must be used to describe her feelings. The word excited is the one that has those characteriscts, by using it, we can see that Lara wants to see her cousin and she can't hold her desire to meet him.

The other sentences show emotions that don't have such energy.
