e down the answers. The recurring dream had plagued Rosita during final examinations, but she had to wonder why she was having it again now that classes were over. That's when she realized that her mother was calling her from the first floor.
2 Suddenly, it all came rushing back to her—she was graduating today, and she was the valedictorian. Rosita had to give a speech in front of the faculty, her classmates, and all their families in exactly one hour. She immediately tossed the covers off, rushed to her closet, and started getting ready. After donning her white graduation gown, Rosita quickly raked a brush through her long dark hair before pulling the mortarboard cap on her head and racing downstairs.

3 When Rosita's mother saw her panic-stricken face, she took her daughter in her arms and gave her a comforting hug.

4 "Everything will be just fine, sweetheart," her mother said reassuringly. But Rosita wasn't feeling very optimistic, especially since she had forgotten to finish her speech.

Answer:

A) It creates a sense of urgency.

Explanation:

A change in pace that is present in the second paragraph creates a sense of urgency. We can feel that by the use of words <em>suddenly, rushing, immediately, rushed, racing.</em> Rosita has to make it to the graduation ceremony and she could be late if she doesn't hurry. She has to do a lot of things, and all of them are described in a relatively short paragraph. All of that contributes to the sense of urgency.
