Question

review the poem.
opening night
i wake at dawn, and nighttime
feels one hundred years away.
nate and i have been waiting
for the movie that comes out today!

weve already made our costumes
and re - watched the old series.
weve read about the brand new cast
and shared our favorite theories.

we watch the time on our phones.
i tell nate im sick of waiting.
he suggests we try the riverwalk,
for some biking and some skating.

its a blast; we hardly get back
in time to change and eat.
before i can even check the clock,
im in my costume and my seat!
what is the main theme of the poem?
its important for friends to take turns choosing things to do.
planning ahead can help large, important events go well.
finding ways to pass the time can make waiting easier.

Explanation:

The poem focuses on the speaker and Nate waiting excitedly for a new movie. When the speaker grows tired of waiting, Nate suggests a fun detour (biking/skating on the riverwalk) that makes the wait enjoyable, and they still make it to the movie on time. This aligns with the idea that passing time with an activity eases waiting, while the other options do not match the poem's content: there's no mention of taking turns choosing activities, and the focus is not on planning for the event but coping with the wait.

Answer:

Finding ways to pass the time can make waiting easier.
