Question

read the passage
the show must go on
tessa received the letter in an oversized lavender envelope with a silver star across the addressee space. she knew what it was before she opened it due to a system error earlier that week that had sent out emails to the accepted students. she still opened it slowly to build anticipation, just like she had planned to do back when she first applied. congratulations on your acceptance to the hollywood summer stars teenage film program. please see script submission deadlines below, and report to studio 14 on the appropriate date. it was everything she had hoped for since six months prior when she had turned over her carefully crafted application.
how does tessa develop professionally over the course of the narrative?

• tessa thinks if she uses vanck’s approach it will be a waste of a golden opportunity to make a masterpiece
• tessa creates a plan for her work and sticks to it
• tessa adapts her plan when the museum rejects her request to film her final scene in that location
• tessa thinks vanck’s influence will keep her from accomplishing her planned goal

Explanation:

The passage shows Tessa initially has a rigid, pre-planned approach to her program opportunity. Professional development involves adapting to obstacles, which matches the option where she adjusts her plan when her preferred filming location is rejected. The other options show inflexibility or resistance to growth, not professional development.

Answer:

Tessa adapts her plan when the museum rejects her request to film her final scene in that location
