Answer 1

Answer:

1. Celebration

Explanation:

By using inferencing skills, it says that " A reception will be held on April 25 for all of the members of the cast and crew." and " The school paper  heralded the play as a "huge success." Since it doesn't involve a serious meeting or sale, we can eliminate those. As for performance, for who? They don't describe or give a hint on who the performance is for. By process of elimination, the answer is 1.
