Sonia sat down in the guidance counselor's office, ready to explain her future. She was going to be a writer, she announced. All she had to do

would write the great American novel. As Sonia finished triumphantly

and looked up for approval, the guidance counselor frowned.

Which statement best explains how the plot of the story helps develop the
