12MR. TORRES: Well, class, it appears that we've met with some obstacles in regards to the new garden. The storm last night caused a colossal amount of damage to the campus. The maintenance crew will be bombarded with work for at least a week, which means they will be unable to tackle the garden project. Perhaps the project was too ambitious. 13BROOKE: Mr. Torres, I have an idea. We just completed a unit about green plants and photosynthesis, so perhaps our class could volunteer to create the garden for some hands-on learning.

14MARTY: Brooke, that’s a fantastic idea. I would gladly donate a day for an outdoor excursion. (With a snicker) It sounds better than algebra!
Why does Marty snicker when she donates a day of algebra class for an outdoor excursion?

A) because she knows that everyone loves algebra and that everyone will be angry with her for losing a class day
B) because she is joking about how there is no question that being outdoors (or anything really) is better than algebra.
C) because she likes to make fun of Mr. Torres and his weird obsession with exotic and fragile plants from faraway places
D) because Marty is clearly a sarcastic and unpleasant person to be around while at school, especially in Mr. Torres' class.
