What conclusion can you draw about what the character was feeling in this passage? I jumped out of my chair as soon as I recognized Maria among the sea of faces at the airport. Calling out her name, I ran up to her and gave her a big hug. A. She was nervous about seeing Maria. B. She was excited to see Maria. C. She dreaded having to meet Maria. D. She had never met Maria before.

The answer is B. because D. explains she never met Maria but in the text, it says, "I recognized Maria among the sea of faces at the airport.

B. That is the only one that even gives any sort of relevance to a happy emotion.
