PASSAGE
The class was supposed to build bridges from popsicle sticks, but the room felt more like a courtroom. On the whiteboard, Mr. Hsu had written: "TEAMWORK = SHARED RISK."
Ava lined up the sticks by length. "If we follow my plan," she said, "we'll win."
DeShawn held up the glue bottle. "Your plan doesn't include anyone else," he said.
Ava's cheeks flushed. "I'm trying to help."
Mr. Hsu walked by and tapped the board. "Shared," he repeated.
When the timer started, Ava grabbed the glue and worked fast, sealing joints before anyone could adjust them. The bridge looked neat, too neat, like a model in a store window.
"Stop," DeShawn said. "You're not listening."
Ava's hands froze. Across the table, Maya's stick tower collapsed with a soft crack, and Maya whispered, "I hate this."
Ava stared at the broken pieces, then slid the glue bottle toward DeShawn. "Okay," she said, voice smaller. "Tell me what you think will hold."
DeShawn blinked, surprised, then drew a triangle shape on the paper. Ava nodded and began again, slower.
Which choice best uses evidence from the excerpt to support the claim that Ava starts out controlling but learns to collaborate?
