Answer to Question #216326 in English for Zety

Question

Determine what event is likely to occur next.  Explain your answer using textual evidence.

 

Vince Thunder waved to the crowd one more time before he put on his motorcycle helmet.  The crowd cheered uproariously.  Vince looked down the ramp and across the 17 school busses that he was about to attempt to jump.  It was a difficult trick and everything would need to go right for him to nail it.  His cape blew in the wind.  As Vince hoped on his motorcycle and started down the ramp, he noticed something that he had not seen before.  There was large oil slick at the end of the ramp.  He attempted to stop the bike, but it was too late.  He had already built up too much momentum...

1.  What event is most likely to occur next? 

Answer 1

Vince is likely to fall off his bike or otherwise fail in his attempt.

Explanation

I believe this because in the text it mentions that everything

must go right for him to land the trick.

There is an oil slick at

the end of the ramp.

He also hesitates. It is too late to reverse

his course.

The combination of these factors makes it likely that

he will not succeed in his attempt.
