1)
which description seems like the best conclusion for a story about a girl named samantha starting fourth grade at a new school far away from her old school?
a) samantha walked nervously into the classroom, hoping that no one would notice her as the "new girl" and try to avoid sitting near her or talking to her.
b) the teacher looked at her attendance sheet and asked, "is there a 'samantha whitman' in this room? i'm not sure i recognize that name from previous years."
c) "pssst," said geoffrey to his friend christian, "did you see that there's a new girl in the class this year? i heard that her name was samantha or something."
d) when the bell rang, samantha said goodbye to the new friend she had made and thought that maybe this new school was not going to be so bad after all.
