Question

read the paragraph from viktorias 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: limited time (3 hours) and no advance knowledge of the painting topic, which are obstacles adding to Viktoria's nervousness. It does not introduce the core main challenge (the competition itself would be the main challenge, not these specifics), nor does it cover overcoming obstacles or personal change from the challenge.

Answer:

to explain some of the obstacles she faces
