Patricia is looking forward to her trip to Corpus Christi. How does she feel?

• A. She is very excited about it.
• B. She is worried about it.
• C. She is bored with it.
• D. She is indifferent about it.

Answer: (A)

Anticipation and positive emotion come through the phrase “looking forward to.” When someone says they’re looking forward to something, they feel eager and happy about it. Since Patricia is looking forward to her trip, she feels excited about it. The other feelings—being worried, bored, or indifferent—don’t line up with that expression, which signals excitement rather than concern, disinterest, or neutrality.
