Read the excerpt from "Dream Season.” "Tomorrow, I want you to speak up. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Okay?” Miss Wells offered in a voice that had become calm and caring.

"Yes, ma’am,” I said as my insides fluttered.

The excerpt supports the inference that Marcus is

excited that he has to speak up.
furious that he has to speak up.
nervous that he has to speak up.
unbothered that he has to speak up.
