1 A. The narrator (At the time, I was staying with my grandparents on their farm. I loved spending
time with them, but Grandad was pretty busy working every day and Grandma didn’t always talk very
much. /…/ One day, while I was looking around in the corner of the room, I came across a chest full of
old-fashioned dresses.)
2 D. She felt surprised and curious. (‘Who do they all belong to?’ I wondered. For the next few days,
I kept thinking about the clothes.)
3 C. She wanted to pursue a career as a professional singer. (I had to leave to become a successful
entertainer. I finally decided that if I didn’t do it, I would always regret it.)

know I was in the audience.’)
