Read this excerpt from a short story.

The set committee had labored for weeks constructing a background to recreate a 1950s New York City neighborhood. The students in charge of costumes had scoured thrift shops for well-worn denim and leather. The cast had rehearsed lines and performed their songs until each member could recite their part forwards and backwards. But nobody wanted to perform for an empty house. The only remaining hurdle was the promotion of the play. As Pine Valley High’s first spring production, the student body would need to be convinced that West Side Story should not be missed.

What complication is introduced in the excerpt?

The cast members struggle to memorize lines.
The costumes do not reflect the play’s time period.
The set committee must repair the background.
The students must work to promote the play.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The students must work to promote the play.

Explanation:

When they say the students didn't want to perform for an empty house, the audience is being referred to as the house. The house it empty, meaning no one has come to watch. So, they need to promote the play to make it more popular.

Describe a deserted area. It can be about anything but it just has to be deserted

It was a dark and shadowy night, nothing could be seen for miles ahead. Everything was plain; there were no trees and no houses nearby. The place was entirely deserted. Where had this wandering fellow gone to so late at night? Even he did not know the answer. Perhaps, everything was a sort of limbo, he had died and gone to nowhere.

However, something was off. This place of nowhere had an elegance to it. It was a place of night and a place where shadows roamed in peace. It was majestic, it was a place where ghost haunted and the dead were were at peace with themselves. Buried underneath the ground were bones, he knew that due to the fact that a voice in his head had told him and he was warned not to disturb their peace. This place where he was at had no tombsstones to remember the dead. There were no plants, not weeds growing from the ground, not even tumbleweeds passing by. This place was absolutely void. Where was he? He did not know. But, one thing was certain and that was that he lived.

“Where am I?” He would ask himself. He would pace around the endless acres of nothingness that was filled with shadows and ghosts until he saw a green light. He tried to run after the green light but the more he ran the farther it seemed. Until, he just gave up. Then, he looked around and it seemed to him that he was still in the same place as before, nothing has changed. When he got tired of standing he sat down and cried. “Where am I?” he cried. Yet, there was no one to console him. There was no God nor man or woman, or even animal to be by his side. He was all alone in a secluded place that seemed to have no end. He thought that maybe perhaps it was a haunted place that whoever enters can never go back to their original life. This thought made him feel the temptation to dig a grave for himself, and he did, with his bare hands. When he finished he laid in it and waited and once he found his flesh no longer chubby but instead sucked to the bone he took the pile of dirt that he withdrew from the ground to dig the grave and he… still in the grave began shoving the dirt within the hole he made and he submerged himself within the dirt and due to suffocation, he died.

Read the following excerpt from Senator Edward M. “Ted” Kennedy’s Faith, Truth and Tolerance in America, 1983.

"I have come here to discuss my beliefs about faith and country, tolerance and truth in America. I know we begin with certain disagreements; and I strongly suspect that at the end of the evening some of our disagreements will remain. But I also hope that tonight and in the months and years ahead, we will always respect the right of others to differ, that we will never lose sight of our own fallibility, and that we will view ourselves with a sense of perspective and a sense of humor. After all, in the New Testament, even the Disciples had to be taught to look first to the beam in their own eyes, and only then to the mote in their neighbor’s eyes."
