1. The club will ( perform ) at the school festival next month.
2. The club will *play* at the school festival next month.
======================
Thank you for your help in many ways.
The correct word for the blank in Sentence 1 (in the reading text) is 'perform'.
However, a student wrote 'play' instead of 'perform'.
The point for 'perform' is two. How would give a point for 'play' in this case?

If the club is a musical group, as in a band or chamber ensemble, etc., we might say they will play, as in playing their instruments. Perform is preferred, though. No points if it's the drama club.

The club is a dance club. They have been practicing dance moves including hip-hop moves.
Do you mean if the club is a dance club, no points are given to the students who wrote 'play' in the sentence?

Thank you for your help.
1. The (dancing) club will ( perform ) at the school festival next month. [Correct Answer, two points for 'perform']
2. The (dancing) club will *play* at the school festival next month.
[Should I give two points or one point for 'play']
