Kara's dilemma is choosing between attending her soccer game or accepting her grandmother's offer to go to the play. She is interested in the play but is worried about the timing and the possibility of being late.
Kara's dilemma is that she has scheduled two events for the same day and is trying to decide which one she should attend. On one hand, she has a soccer game scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Portsmouth. On the other hand, her grandmother has offered her an extra ticket to a play on Saturday evening. Kara is interested in the play after hearing a review from her grandmother.
Kara considers her schedule for the day. The soccer game starts at 3:00 PM and will last about 80 minutes. Portsmouth is about an hour away, and Kara will need time to shower and eat after the game. Her grandmother would pick her up around 6:30 PM. The theater is downtown, nearly an hour away from her house, and the play starts at 7:30 PM.
Kara realizes that if anything goes wrong, like bad traffic on the way home from the game or on the way to the theater, they might be late for the play. She feels frustrated because attending both events seems difficult given the time constraints.
