Answer 1

Answer:

A. The reader could compare the narrator's presentation and evaluation of it.

Explanation:

This is only the answer if the passage that you were given is "Twelfth Night Flop"

But that it also reads:

Twelfth Night Flop

This is a draft of a student's narrative essay.

    I can remember the flop so clearly.

    I was already intimidated by the assignment, and then I wandered off script which didn't ease the burden of an already difficult task. Shakespeare said, "Where words are scarce, they are seldom spent in vain," and yet, there I was, bumbling through my one-minute explanation of why Tweflth Night is Shakespeare's best play, abandoning the concise explanation I'd rehearsed in exchange for what? A less poignant opener, for sure. You know what I should have done? I should have recreated a comedic moment with the class, inviting them to experience a moment I had loved as an audience member. Instead, I told them about the performance in a convoluted way after asking what prized possession they would grab if their house was on fire. I didn't even get to finish.

    When the time-keeper, Kenya, said time was up, I was astonished. My voice shrank and my eyes burned with tears that I hoped others would not notice as I returned to my seat. It didn't help that Jerome presented next and went overtime, but Kenya couldn't say for how long, since she was so riveted by his talk.
