Emilio was extremely excited about his latest idea. “Everyone knows that girls gossip about guys during Home Economics class,” he said. “Well, I’ve figured it out: I’ll use the janitor’s ladder, thirty tubes of superglue, and superglue myself to the ceiling of the Home Ec classroom! I’ll hear every word.”

“I see,” I said. “And does this great plan include a strategy for detachment or getting the ladder out of there once you’re up, or do you plan to stick to the ceiling holding the ladder forever?”

“We’ll figure out the details later,” Emilio said. “Come on! We’ve got to buy glue!”

How could Emilio solve his detachment dilemma?

A
have a plan in case he's detected

B
bring his extra tubes of glue

C
use a spatula to pry himself off the ceiling
