Read this excerpt from a short story. Then, answer the questions that follow. From the day Danny Bannerman transferred to Spencerville High School, he was popular with the other students. A talented athlete with a good sense of humor, he immediately became friendly with several boys in his classes and on the sports teams that he joined. The girls flocked around him too, delighted by his good looks and outgoing manner. Nevertheless, though he was friendly enough, Danny never singled out any one girl for special attention. Daniela Marlowe moved to Spencerville a few months after Danny. For her, the transition to a new high school was far more difficult. A smart and sweet-faced girl, she was unfortunately rather shy, drawing little attention from fellow students in such a big school. Moreover, because she had to work part-time to help out at home, she joined no after-school clubs or sports teams where she might find friends. Based on the details in the selection, which of these predictions seems most likely to happen? A. Danny and Daniela will never meet and become friends. B. Danny and Daniela will dislike each other when they meet. C. Daniela will be jealous of Danny and behave spitefully toward him. D. Danny will take a romantic interest in Daniela.

Assuming, that Daniela is same from inside as from outside, she is sweet (from sweet-faced), shy and smart. A smart, shy and sweet person is hardly to be jealous of someone Neither she will be jealous of Danny.
As Danny is always in touch with girls, in a big school there must be more attractive girls than Daniela so he will hardly notice her. but Daniela takes part in sports club so they will meet. they will definitely meet, but for a short time.(Daily).
Now, A is not possible, B is not possible and C can never be possible either.
Danny is clicked by girls, he is friendly,Good in sports, but as he is a good athlete he might not be much good in studies (all-rounders are rare).
But on the other hand Daniela is good in studies and also take part in sports.shy,and finds hard to make friends. It is Said that opp. people complete each other(idk how far it's true). yeah so Danny will be attracted towards Daniela. So according to me, option D has the highest probability.

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Based on the details provided by this section, one can deduce that this short story will be a romantic one.

It presents the classical theme of "opposites attrack": Danny, the popular boy, who is liked by the boys and wanted by the girls; and Daniela, who is shy and does not have many friends.

Most likely, they will meet by accident and Danny will take a special interest in her because he will deem her to be "not like other girls".
