Read the following paragraph: I had been student council president for a month now, and
the meetings covered a wide variety of topics. Today's
meeting had run long, and when we opened the floor up to
questions, Alan's hand shot up immediately. Nobody else
had a question. Great, I thought sarcastically. It will
probably be something about how we didn't use Robert's
Rules of Order correctly, or something equally boring.

A. He is afraid to answer questions publicly.
B. He believes Alan asks too many questions.

would ask any questions.
D. He is intimidated by Alan's usual questions.
