Question

Read these paragraphs from Ava’s story:

JJ was going to refuse. After all, where would the band be without her songs? Posting a performance of one of them online for the world to see and hear—and copy!—was too risky. As she walked from the bus stop to the rehearsal room, she considered how best to explain her decision to Clarke and the others. Her explanation would feature terms like intellectual property and copyright.

Clarke vibrated with anticipation. “We can make the video today, and I’ll post it tonight,” he said. “If we’re lucky, by the end of the month, we’ll have more than a million views. I think this is it, guys! I can feel it. Our band is gonna be a global sensation!”

A.

B.
Clarke was excited, so he was vibrating with anticipation.
C.
As JJ was making her way toward rehearsal, Clarke was vibrating with anticipation from just thinking about his plans for the band’s future.
