Question

read the poem. then, review the bolded text in the fourth stanza.
opening night
i wake at dawn, and nighttime
feels one hundred years away.
nate and i have been waiting
for the movie that comes out today!
weve already made our costumes
and re - watched the old series.
weve read about the brand new cast
and shared our favorite theories.
we watch the time on our phones.
i tell nate im sick of waiting.
he suggests we try the riverwalk,
for some biking and some skating.
its a blast; we hardly get back
in time to change and eat.
before i can even check the clock,
im in my costume and my seat!
the bolded text requires an inference, or a guess, about missing details. based on the text,
which sentence is most likely to be true?
the speaker doesnt make it to the movie on time and has to stay home.
the day goes by faster because the speaker has fun at the riverwalk.
the movie is even better than the speaker was hoping it would be.

Explanation:

The bolded text shows the speaker had fun at the riverwalk ("It's a blast") and barely got back in time to prepare for the movie. This implies the enjoyable activity made time pass quickly. The first option is false because the speaker gets to their seat, and there is no text to support the third option about the movie's quality.

Answer:

The day goes by faster because the speaker has fun at the riverwalk.
