At school, Helen McGuire was acting weird because I’m going to be in the horse with Tommy Aldridge. She wanted to know what it’s like: “Is it really cramped in there? Do you have to sit real close together?”

I told her it’s dark, and we must hold each other around the waist and walk to make the horse move forward. Her eyes grew wide at this description. “Lucky you,” she said.

Why do you think Helen is envious of Vita?
a.
Helen doesn’t want to memorize so many lines
b.
Helen is just being sarcastic
c.
Helen wants to be in the horse with Tommy so she can be close to him
d.
Helen doesn’t like her costume
