Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. En el párrafo 15 - 20, se dice que Monique eligió "God Bless the Child" porque era sofisticado, familiar para adultos de la generación anterior y mostraba su madurez en contraste con las canciones elegidas por otros que mostraban solo entusiasmo. Esto significa que pensaba que le permitiría mostrar mejor su madurez en lugar de solo entusiasmo.
2. Al principio, se describe el ambiente de las audiciones como estresante para Monique y a los demás, lo que sugiere que estaban nerviosos y preocupados.
3. No hay información en el texto sobre lo que Esperanza hizo antes de cantar "The Star - Spangled Banner".

# Answer:
