Steven watched the island get bigger as they approached. Now he could see buildings and roads. He saw that they were approaching a small island beside it that had an airport. He twisted in his seat, anxious for the plane to land and his family's vacation to begin in the Galapagos Islands.

Steven's parents were both scientists who were researching the endangered pink fairy armadillo, a species found in Argentina. Steven, his brother, Nick, and his parents had just spent a month living in a tent on the outskirts of the rain forest in Argentina. Because the family traveled so much, Steven and his brother attended school online. Doing homework in the humid rain forest with bugs bigger than hamburger buns flying around and an internet connection that kept cutting out was not Steven or Nick's idea of a good time. They pressed on since they knew how important it was to stay in school, especially if they wanted to be scientists just like their parents. As a reward for putting up with the uncomfortable stay in the rain forest, their parents had planned a family vacation to the Galapagos Islands once their research was complete. The boys were so excited for this new adventure since they had never been to this area of the world before.

How does the narrator of the story help the reader learn how Steven feels about the trip?

a By using a vivid description to show Steven's excitement as they approach the island.
b By telling the reader that Steven wants to be a scientist like his parents.
c By telling the reader that Steven is not looking forward to their vacation.
d By telling the reader that Steven worked hard to plan this vacation for his family.

Answer:

A) By using a vivid description to show Steven's excitement as they approach the island.
