Question 43 • GA-Literature and Composition I

Read the excerpt from "Wherefore Art Thou Romeo?”I shrugged. Shondra waited. Finally, I pained my head toward the classroom next door. We both knew that my nemesis, Allison Ramon, was in there. Since the third grade, Allison and I had battled for the lead in every school play. Usually we both ended up on stage in one role or another. But tomorrow’s reading was a class assignment, and Allison wasn’t in the class. She was free to wreak havoc from the audience.

Answer
A
competed intensely
B
fought violently
C
angrily argued
D
secretly tricked

Explanation

The narrator says that Allison and she had “battled for the lead” in every school play, so “nemesis” describes someone she repeatedly competed against. The passage suggests rivalry over acting roles, not physical violence, arguing, or secret tricks. “Competed intensely” is the best choice.
