Question

at the local youth center, stole quick glances at their competitors and frowned. how do joey and alana feel about participating in the hackathon? theyre proud to have finally made it to the state - level hackathon. theyre worried about their friendship being challenged in the hackathon. theyre nervous about competing against other teams in the hackathon. theyre eager to represent their computer club at the hackathon.

Explanation:

The text from the passage (even though partially shown, the key detail is "stole quick glances at their competitors and frowned") suggests they are uneasy about competing against others. The option "They're nervous about competing against other teams in the hackathon" matches this context. Other options: the first is about pride (no info on making it to state - level), the second about friendship challenge (no related info), the fourth about eagerness (frowning doesn't show eagerness).

Answer:

C. They're nervous about competing against other teams in the hackathon.
