featuring a teacher who tells an enthusiastic story about the reasons that a computer lab is important

describing a student who is frustrated by having to wait a long time for an available computer in the computer lab

featuring the conversation between two students who want to learn how to write computer code in the computer lab

describing the new ways that teachers want to use the computer lab to teach various kinds of computer skills

Explanation

To create empathy, Bruno should help readers understand and feel for someone affected by the shortage of computers. Describing a student who is frustrated while waiting a long time for an available computer makes that problem personal and relatable. The other choices focus on enthusiasm, interest, or teaching plans rather than showing how the shortage affects a student.
