Final answer:
Option (c), The question lacks context to definitively know why Maddie chose the red dress. The reference to Amy's experience suggests personal preference for color and fit might be factors in such a decision.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question regarding Maddie's choice of a red dress for prom doesn't provide enough context for a definitive answer. However, using the passage provided as a reference, one can infer about the subjective experience of trying on dresses and the personal preferences that come into play. ]
The detailed description of Amy being entranced by an apricot-color shading into a shell pink dress shows the importance of color and how it blends with the wearer's skin tone.
Similarly, Maddie's preference for the red dress could also be influenced by these factors. Whether Maddie's friends advised her or if the black dress didn't fit her are scenarios that could also arise, as friends' opinions and the fit of a dress are common considerations for such an event. However, without explicit information from the text, it's impossible to know the exact reasons for Maddie's choice.
