Tara emerged from the school bus into the warm spring air toting her flute case and backpack for the short walk home. As she walked, she contemplated tomorrow’s testing in band class. Last month, Tara had failed to prepare her piece for testing, and she made three careless mistakes. As a result, she had surrendered first chair flute to Leigh, a less experienced musician. Tara lengthened her stride and began to whistle a Mozart concerto as her home came into view.
Which of these predictions is best supported by the information provided?
I think Tara will tutor Leigh because Tara is a more experienced flutist.
I think Tara will play outside before practicing because the weather is warm.
I think Tara will write a new concerto because she is whistling Mozart.
I think Tara will practice for her test because she realizes her mistake.

The prediction that is best supported by the information provided is: I think Tara will practice for her test because she realizes her mistake.
This conclusion is drawn from the fact that Tara is reflecting on her previous failure to prepare for testing, which resulted in her losing first chair to Leigh. This acknowledgment of her past mistakes suggests that she may be motivated to practice in order to improve her performance and reclaim her position.
