Question
Finally, opening night was here after what felt like years of hard work. In reality, it had only been a few months from start to tonight, but Isa had done nothing but eat, sleep, and breathe her part, so it felt like longer. She was waiting in the wings, letting her excitement grow as she heard the crowd trickling in. She tugged at one of the curls she’d so painstakingly put into her hair and bit her lip, trying not to let her nerves get the better of her.
She looked around at the stage crew who were hurrying all around setting out props and double-checking backdrops. After so many endless rehearsals, they moved like a well-oiled machine. Each crew member was dressed all in black, and she had to squint to see where everyone stood. She loved the feeling of being a part of something that was so much bigger than herself. She couldn’t wait for the stage to be set and for everything to begin. Isa took a moment to admire the purpose with which everyone moved before she was brought back to reality with a gasp and a shriek.
Rushing in the direction of the noise, she found the two leads in the play sprawled out on the ground with a ladder and a pile of 2x4s. It was clear they had been trying to help with set up and it had gone terribly wrong. Isa knew that the understudies were both sick, and now it looked like the leads were out of commission. She held back a terrifying thought: would they have to cancel the show?
What does Isa’s last thought reveal about her?
She is very emotionally invested in performing.
She understands the reality of the situation.
She is already brainstorming other ways to finish the show.
She is a person who usually holds back her emotions.

Isa's last thought reveals that **she understands the reality of the situation.** While she feels a rush of anxiety about the possibility of canceling the show, she is also clearly aware of the implications of the incident with the leads. This indicates that she has a grasp on the logistical challenges ahead rather than being consumed by her emotions alone.
