Question 3 Which detail from the text BEST supports the inference that deep down Anthony
thinks he may win the election for student body president?
А
Today was student government officer Election Day at
Woodleigh Oaks High, and Anthony was vying for the office of
student body president, a longtime dream of his.
B
A few minutes later, being pelted by needles of steaming hot
water in the shower, Anthony practiced the opening line of his
acceptance speech to give himself courage.
С
He talked on and on, in a confident, clear voice, and all he
could hear was unusual silence; a silent high school
gymnasium was an oxymoron.
D
The election results for student body president were
announced last, so Anthony had plenty of time to become
almost crazy with impatience.
