Answer 1

The answer is B because if he stops to watch his favorite music video and is already rushing it pretty obvious that he will miss the bus. hope this helps.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B) "Tony will watch the video and miss the bus."

Step-by-step explanation:

There are some hints in the passage that help us identify that if Tony stops to watch the video, he will miss the bus.

In the passage, it says that Tony has only two minutes to catch the bus. So, if he watches the video, he will not arrive on time to take the bus.

There is no other evidence in the text that indicates that Tony will skip or school or have an accident.
