The following morning, Erika stood in Mr. Kelp's room with her hands shaking and her teeth chattering. She snatched a blank test
as he stepped into the hall. What happened next is a blur—partly because it happened quickly—mostly because Erika would like to forget it ever happened at all. She was called to the office, her backpack was searched, and the test was found. By the day's end, she had apologized to a shocked Mr. Kelp. She had been removed from the team by a disappointed coach. She had been suspended by an angry principal and driven home by tearful parents. In paragraph 4, the author of the article uses several adjectives. What do the words describing Mr. Kelp, the coach, the principal, and Erika's parents imply about the events of the day? It was an emotional day. It was a hopeful day. It was a normal day. It was a boring day.
