Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. Choose the correct letter. I'll never forget the scare I had while I was in high school. It was not caused by my other classmates or by a particular teacher. Rather, it was during a band trip. I packed up my flute and music one wintry day and loaded the bus with the rest of the band. We were excited and happy that we were going out of the school for the day and playing Christmas carols at a jewelry store in the center of Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Hamilton Street. We had strict orders from Mr. Reimschissel, our director, to make sure we do not stop playing no matter what until he cuts us off with his baton. He was concerned that we would watch the shoppers and not focus on the music. We set up our stands when we got there and tuned up. We played a couple of holiday favorites like "White Christmas" and "Sleigh Ride." While we were playing "Sleigh Ride," something happened that really sent shivers down my spine. There were a couple of shouts and a man with a dark ski mask came running in the store. He knocked into our bass fiddle player who nearly fell, but somehow retained his balance. Right on his heels were two police officers that had their guns out. The man with the mask stopped at the jewelry counter while one policeman told him his rights and proceeded to handcuff him. Most of the people in the store were frozen still, but somehow we played the rest of "Sleigh Ride" to the very end. The man with the ski mask was a a. shopper. b. skier. c. criminal. d. poor person.
