Story ending with the good news made all of us very happy

The entrance test was so difficult that I was told not one of us 10 takers made it.

When I was in high school, I chose to take the admission test in the most prestigious state university in our country instead of joining a national writing competition that I could easily win. In other words, I chose to secure my future than to enjoy a moment's honor and reward.

During the graduation ceremonies, my classmates who joined the writing competition were recognized and were given medals. I did not envy them because I was looking forward to passing the admission test.

One day, one of the 10 students who took the test with me announced that nobody passed after he went personally to the university to inquire.

I was disappointed and I regretted prioritizing it. However, a week later, I received a letter informing me that I passed the test. The good news made us all happy.

Explanation:

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.
