The correct answer is 50 minutes.

To find out how long it will take Carla to read the full assignment, we can set up a proportion:

10 minutes / 4 pages = x minutes / 20 pages

Cross multiplying, we get:

4x = 10 * 20

Simplifying, we find:

4x = 200

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x = 50

Therefore, Carla will need 50 minutes to read the full assignment.
