A student wrote the following story.

For a few years, I have played tennis on the weekends with my best friend Rita. Two weeks ago, we noticed that our school's tennis team was holding tryouts for new players. We both decided to try out for the team.

Rita and I met at the community park's tennis courts every day after school for a week. At the park, we practiced many different skills. First, we jogged around the exterior of the court. After warming up, we volleyed the ball back and forth. By the end of the week, we both had improved our skills.

At the tryouts, we were nervous but felt confident in our skills. The coach allowed us to choose our partners. Rita and I played together and did our best to impress the coach. After the tryouts, Rita and I thanked the coach for a great opportunity. The coach plans to post the list of people who made it onto the team tomorrow.

Which of these BEST concludes the story?

The best conclusion to the story is:

B. As soon as we get to school tomorrow, Rita and I will read the list.

This option effectively wraps up the narrative by bringing the reader back to the main event—the results of the tryouts—and emphasizes the anticipation felt by the characters, making it a fitting end to the story.
