Question

Use the paragraph to answer the question.

"LaShawn inhaled deeply and leaned into her stretch. She would hold it for 90 seconds: a routine she followed before every competition. But this was the final county tournament. Was she ready? Were the countless backflips she did every morning at 5 a.m. for the past nine months going to pay off? Leaning out of the stretch, she stood and walked purposefully to the door of the gym."

Write 1-2 sentences in which you explain what can be inferred about LaShawn based on this paragraph.

Answer 1

LaShawn is disciplined and dedicated, training every morning for nine months and following a precise pre-competition routine. She is focused and determined but also anxious about whether her hard work will pay off at the final county tournament.
