Question

read the paragraph from viktoria’s narrative essay. as i read the rules, i became even more nervous. fifty artists had been accepted to the competition. each artist would have just three hours to create a painting. the topic of the painting would be revealed right before the artists would be allowed to start, so there was no chance i could brainstorm ideas ahead of time. why would viktoria most likely include this paragraph in the middle of her essay? to introduce the main challenge she faces to explain some of the obstacles she faces to explain how she overcomes her obstacles to discuss how the challenge changes her

Explanation:

The paragraph details specific difficult conditions of the competition: a large pool of competitors, a tight 3-hour time limit, and no advance topic notice for brainstorming. These are specific obstacles Viktoria faces, not the initial introduction of the main challenge, nor how she overcomes obstacles or how the challenge changes her. Placing this in the middle of a narrative essay would elaborate on the hurdles she encounters during the event.

Answer:

to explain some of the obstacles she faces
