Question

what complication is introduced in the excerpt?

The cast members struggle to memorize lines.
The costumes do not reflect the play’s time period.
The set committee must repair the background.
The students must work to promote the play.

Answer 1

I don’t have the excerpt — I can’t tell which option is correct without the passage. Please paste the excerpt (or summarize the part where the problem appears) and I’ll identify the complication.

If it helps, look for the sentence that introduces an obstacle to the characters’ goal (often signaled by words like “but,” “however,” “unfortunately,” or a sudden problem): that sentence will name the complication (e.g., forgotten lines → option 1; wrong-style costumes → option 2; damaged backdrop → option 3; need to advertise/sell tickets → option 4).
