Read the excerpt from Outcasts United . A moment later, Fornatee made his way toward Luma. She was standing in a huddle of Under Fifteen players, assigning them their positions. Fornatee tried to blend into the group as if he expected to get a position. "Fornatee," Luma said when she saw him, "go away." Fornatee was startled. He froze as the other players turned to look at him. "Coach, can I talk to you after?" he asked. "Yes—go away," Luma said before continuing with her position assignments. Fornatee walked back to the jungle gym, where Prince and some of his other friends had gathered to watch the scrimmage. He would watch and wait, and try to persuade Coach to take him back. Keeping chronological order in mind, what question would a reader most likely ask after reading this excerpt?
Answer
A
Have Fornatee and Prince been friends for a very long time?
B
Will Luma speak to Fornatee and allow him back onto the team?
C
Who will win the game between the Fifteens and the Seventeens?
D
Will Fornatee watch the scrimmage from the sidelines of the field?
Explanation
The excerpt ends with Fornatee waiting and hoping to persuade Coach Luma to take him back. In chronological order, a reader would most likely wonder what happens next between them and whether Luma lets him rejoin the team. Choice B is less likely because the passage already says he will watch the scrimmage; the other choices introduce questions the excerpt does not lead toward.
