"Are you sure you don't want to come with us, Alfie?" his mother asked him as she and Alfie's Dad were headed out the door. "It's a folk music concert I bet you'd really enjoy."

Question

"That's alright, Mom. I think I'd rather stay home and watch a movie. You guys have a good time, though."
Alfie watched out the window as his parents drove away. His big sister Meg was upstairs doing her homework, and the house felt mighty quiet. Alfie got a soda from the fridge and then stood looking at all the stuff his family had tacked on the fridge door. There, front and center, was the "schedule" his mom kept of who had to be where and when. Alfie's name was only on it once—for his dental checkup. Meg's name was all over it, with her violin lessons, mostly—she was serious about the violin thing, even applying to music schools for college. The rest of the schedule was filled with concerts and plays and art gallery openings Alfie's parents were always going to.
Wow, Alfie thought as he glanced over the schedule. They're gone almost every night of the week! A feeling he did not like was creeping up on him. He was starting to wonder if he was boring because he didn't like to always be doing things. His idea of a good time was kicking back with a video of one of his favorite action movies and maybe munching on a bowl of popcorn. If he was feeling social, he might invite a friend over, but that was about it. Just as he was starting to feel that he must be too boring for even his parents to hang out with, the door opened and there was his dad.
"Did you forget something?" Alfie asked.
His dad smiled. "Yeah—you! We got about halfway there and decided we've been away from home too much lately. We'd much rather spend the evening with our number-one son. Started that movie yet?"
"You're just in time," Alfie beamed, and went to the kitchen to make the popcorn.

Answer 1

Based on the passage, the reader can guess that:

D. Meg wants to make music her career.

This is inferred from the mention of Meg being serious about the violin and applying to music schools for college, suggesting a strong interest in pursuing a career in music. The other options are not directly supported by the text.
