Review the text. Then, choose the one detail that best suggests that Kyra drops the rocks because she is embarrassed to be seen doing something as basic as skipping rocks.I stepped forward and flicked my wrist. The stone skipped across the water's glassy surface three times before sinking, creating beautiful, concentric rings that folded into each other. The sound of sneakers sliding in gravel startled me, and I crossed my arms as I realized that I was being watched."Kyra, you can skip rocks?" I turned to see Olivia behind me. My face grew hot as I casually dropped the rocks I had been holding."Yeah, sort of," I mumbled. Olivia was good at everything she tried. When she wasn't winning track medals, she was starring in the school musical or leading the debate club."I've never been able to!" Olivia said helplessly. "It looks so cool, though. I wish I could!"Seeing Olivia's smiling face, I realized that maybe being able to skip rocks wasn't a worthless talent after all. I leaned down and picked up a rock I had dropped, holding it out for her."Want to practice?" I asked. Olivia nodded eagerly and joined me at the water's edge. She concentrated, aimed, and threw the rock. It sank immediately with a loud plunk."I told you!" she said, laughing."It's all in the wrist," I said, standing a little straighter and skipping another stone; that one made it to the middle of the pond. We took turns, giggling with joy when one of Olivia's rocks finally skipped once.Submit
