I tried out for the school musical and did not get the part I wanted. I thought I gave a strong audition and I've been a part of the program all through high school. I thought that as a senior, I would have a good chance of a lead role because of all my past experience and hard work. I never skip practices and I always stay late to put away equipment. I joke around a lot with the choir teacher and thought we were friends. However, I guess I was wrong. I think the teacher probably just hates me or something. What other reason could she possibly have for not casting me?

Question

This student is upset about not receiving her chosen part, and this point of view affects her assessment of the situation. What statement is probably not true?
A.
I've been a part of the program for a long time.
B.
The teacher probably hates me.
C.
I stay late to put away equipment.
D.
I never skip practices.

Answer 1

The statement that is probably not true is:

B. The teacher probably hates me.

This statement reflects the student's emotional response to the situation and is based on her personal feelings rather than objective evidence. The other statements (A, C, and D) pertain to her experience and actions, which are likely true.
