the __3__ role. Thousands of girls had auditioned for the part, but
Amanda had shined above them all. The show’s producers had decided
that she was the most __4__.
     This was certainly a __5__ come true. Amanda would be __6__ and
become very rich. Even as she waited to go on stage, she was thinking
of all the things she would do with her __7__. She wouldn’t let it go to
her head. She’d be sure to give millions to her favorite charities.
     She heard a loud buzzer sounding. This was the __8__ that the
show was about to begin. The noise became louder and quite
unpleasant. The stage faded from view and was replaced by Amanda’s
