Read this excerpt from a play.

Hailey (entering from the side door and depositing a full backpack on the table): Hi, Mom! I’ve got a ton of homework tonight.

Mrs. Renault (stepping forward and offering a letter for inspection): Oh, yeah? Well, a letter came for you today. It says it’s from the Encore Summer Institute.

Hailey (taking the letter and opening it): I’ve been waiting for this (reading the letter, eyes growing wider). Oh, Mom, I got in. Unbelievable. I can’t, I mean, this is amazing.

Mrs. Renault (shaking her head and clutching her hands, jaw dropping): Read it out loud. . . .

Which line from the play contains dialogue that reveals emotion?

Answer:

Oh, Mom, I got in. Unbelievable. I can’t, I mean, this is amazing.

Step-by-step explanation:

This line shows many different emotions. Hailey shows disbelief with her town of voice because she can't believe she was accepted at the school she wants to attend.

Hailey also showed excitement and shock with her hand movements and dropped jaw.

The other lines do not show emotion because setting the backpack down is a routine action, and saying that a letter arrived is mostly a comment that is made without much emotion or sentiment.
