Question

trina forced her worries about her recent biology exam from her mind and let her kite soar high in the sun - drenched sky. she needed an a to get in the premed program. she had studied hard and given it her best, which was all she could really do. suddenly the wind gained strength, tugging forcefully on her kite string. it could snap at any moment. holding tightly to the string, she loosened it a little and let the kite fly higher. her kite wasnt going anywhere - at least not today. what is the symbol and its hidden meaning? a. the symbol is the class, which reveals a deeper meaning about education. b. the symbol is the sky, which represents beauty and nature. c. the symbol is the kite, which reveals a deeper meaning about flying. d. the symbol is the string, which represents determination and self - control.

Explanation:

The kite is a central object in the passage. Trina holds onto the kite string, controlling it even as the wind tries to make it snap. Just as she is trying to control her future by getting into the pre - med program through her exam performance, the kite represents her goals and aspirations that she is trying to keep in reach and under control. The other options (class, sky, string) are not as central or symbolic in the context of the passage's deeper meaning.

Answer:

C. The symbol is the kite, which reveals a deeper meaning about flying (metaphorically representing her reaching for her goals like getting into the pre - med program).
