“we... can’t see the dragon?
“no, but there’s another trail—”
“no, thanks,” raj said quietly, “i only... the dragon.”
what a relief!
raj nodded, eyes teary, sword drooping by his side. oh no. staring at another gigantic tree, i remembered my own fifth birthday. my parents and i had gone ice skating, laughing and holding hands.
raj should get his dragon birthday, i thought. it was all he wanted. i moved closer to the tree. there was something about its twisted, bumpy bark...
“raj,” i called. “look!”
based on the story, what is most likely to happen next?
sahana will find something about the tree to cheer raj up.
raj will try to cut down the tree with his cardboard sword.
raj will get excited about jumping in a pile of leaves near the tree.
sahana will figure out another way to get to dragon lookout.

Explanation:

The narrator notices Raj is upset because he didn't get his dragon birthday wish, and the narrator focuses on the tree's unusual bark, calling Raj over. This points to the narrator using the tree to comfort Raj. The other options don't align with the story's focus on Raj's unmet dragon wish and the narrator's attention to the tree.

Answer:

Sahana will find something about the tree to cheer Raj up.
