Explanation:

The underlined detail is "The only thing I could think of was saying a poem I had written about messing up". We analyze each option:

• "What does Rica think about violin music?" The underlined part has nothing to do with violin music, so this is incorrect.
• "What does Rica decide to do for her talent?" The underlined detail shows that Rica decides to recite a poem she wrote as her talent, so this question can be answered with the underlined detail.
• "What does Rica like to do in her free time?" The underlined part doesn't mention free - time activities, so this is incorrect.
• "What does Rica ask Mr. Hughes about?" The underlined part is about what Rica decides to do, not what she asks Mr. Hughes, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. What does Rica decide to do for her talent?
