Question 16 of 25 • LAUSD-English Language Arts 9 A (Prescriptive)
Read the passage from "The Quinceanera.”The next thing I knew, the alarm on my phone rang, startling me out of a daze. It was 12:30, time for me to leave! In a rush of misery I realized I had to make a choice: get my sister’s gift or make it to my movie on time. A quick look at the jewelry reminded me that there wasn’t anything here I thought she’d like anyhow. But I had to get her something! And then it hit me. My sister liked movies – I could get her movie tickets at the theatre, or a gift certificate she could use whenever she wanted!
Answer

B
get involved with his friends and the movie and forget the gift.

D
