Answer 2

Answer:

B. Clarisse and Cindy considered themselves on a moral holiday, which permitted them to "let their hair down"

Explanation:

The first statement alleged they auditioned for the video because they broke some taboo due to stress, which is false because the text clearly stated they conducted themselves in a mature manner and if it is to be believed, someone conducting themselves maturely would not break some taboo and if they were to do so mistakenly, they wouldn't lash out by instead they'd be remorseful.

This makes B the most likely scenario, they'd feel doing the video in the summer and no big deal since they've been good in school and are currently on vacation so they'd feel they've earned it.

C and D were not considered because there was no hint of any in the text and it is least likely they were the cause
