a) Miss Scarlet blocks the door willingly
b) Miss Scarlet denies access to the Lounge
c) Miss Scarlet opens the door
d) The Lounge is out of order

Answer 1

The correct answer is option a. Miss Scarlet willingly blocks the Lounge door and denies access to others, possibly suggesting the Lounge is 'out of order'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on Scene 11, Miss Scarlet's actions with respect to the Lounge door indicate that she is deliberately denying access to the Lounge. Given the choices provided:

• Miss Scarlet blocks the door willingly, is the most accurate as she is the one actively blocking the door.
• Miss Scarlet denies access to the Lounge, also correctly describes her actions of blocking the door, which implicitly denies access to others.
• Miss Scarlet opens the door, does not apply here as she is blocking the door, not opening it.
• The Lounge is out of order, is a statement that can be inferred from the context, as Miss Scarlet is likely providing a reason or excuse for her action by indicating the room is not accessible or usable.

The right answer to the student's question is that Miss Scarlet willingly blocks the door and, as a result, denies access to the Lounge, which could also suggest that the Lounge is in a state where it is 'out of order'.
