Question 4
A)
Use the story description to answer the question.
A story opens on a coronation event for a young queen. The queen-to-be seems calm, confident, and ready to step into her new role. A series of scenes follows her conversations while she dresses and gives last minute orders. As she steps into the hall and walks toward her place on the ceremony stage, the story jumps to a series of scenes that show a montage of her youth. The memories show how wild and unruly she was, trying anything she could to get out of her royal life. Back in the present, she finally reaches her place on the stage and looks up at the head of the royal nursery who played a big role in the flashback scenes. Both characters smile for a long moment, and the coronation begins.
