Question

The reader can infer that Anthony is a strong candidate for student body president. Which details from the text best support this inference? Select two options. A. Today was student government officer Election Day at Woodleigh Oaks High, and Anthony was vying for the office of student body president, a longtime dream of his. B. He could hear himself boldly saying all the things he'd planned to say about what he wanted to do for Woodleigh's student body… C. He talked on and on, in a confident, clear voice, and all he could hear was unusual silence; a silent high school gymnasium was an oxymoron. D. The silence was steady until Anthony said the last word of his speech, and then a pandemonium of guttural cheers, shrill screams and wild applause broke out. E. The election results for student body president were announced last, so Anthony had plenty of time to become almost crazy with impatience.

Answer 1

The answer is D. This is because when people cheer and applaud for him it shows that he is likely to win or in other words is a strong candidate.
