Question

me. “sorry, lannis, but i’m so pumped,” she says. “major score for my b - ball team—we’ll finally get new hoops. the rims are so bent, they almost look square!”

isa’s been complaining about those messed - up hoops forever, and i get it, but my team deserves some love, too.

why is isa excited about ms. cook’s announcement?

• isa looks forward to doing experiments in the new science labs.
• isa hopes the extra grant money will help her team get new equipment.
• isa believes the grant will allow the school to start offering basketball.
• isa knows that enhancing the gym will improve the school building.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the text: Isa says "Major score for my b - ball team—we'll finally get new hoops". Option A is about science labs, which is irrelevant. Option C says the grant will start offering basketball, but the text is about getting new hoops for an existing team. Option D is about enhancing the gym for the school building, not related to her team. Option B matches as she is excited her basketball team will get new equipment (hoops) from the grant - related announcement.

Answer:

B. Isa hopes the extra grant money will help her team get new equipment.
