Question

read the text.
clara felt her eyes widen and her heartbeat quicken as she watched the television. she pulled the blanket closer to her chin. suddenly she heard a door open and someone call out, \anyone home?\
clara screamed.
based on the text, which sentence is most likely to be true?
clara is feeling cold.
clara is afraid of the dark.
clara is watching a scary movie.

Explanation:

• For "Clara is feeling cold": Pulling a blanket close could be due to fear (like in a scary situation) rather than just cold, so this is less likely.
• For "Clara is afraid of the dark": The text doesn't mention darkness, so there's no support for this.
• For "Clara is watching a scary movie": Her widened eyes, quickened heartbeat, pulling a blanket, and screaming after hearing a door open and a call are typical reactions to a scary movie, making this the most likely.

Answer:

Clara is watching a scary movie.
