Explanation:

The statement that best expresses the main theme of this passage is statement D.

A girl named Natalie tells about how she dreamed about finding a perfect dress for the school dance. However, she never thought that dream would come true because of how poor her family was. Then, her grandma surprised her by making that dress herself. She put in a lot of effort to show Natalie how much she loved her. The lack of money wasn't going to prevent Natalie's dreams from coming true thanks to her grandma's love.

This is why option D is the correct one.

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

variety

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.
