What is the status of Andy and Keisha's relationship at this point?

• A. broken up
• B. dating
• C. friends
• D. rivals

Answer: (A)

This item tests how a major event changes a couple’s relationship and how that shift is shown in the story. At this point in Tears of a Tiger, the fallout from the night of the party has driven a wedge between Andy and Keisha. Andy withdraws, his guilt and confusion strain communication, and Keisha becomes distant, making it clear they’re no longer romantically involved. The relationship has deteriorated to the point where they are not dating anymore, which is why broken up is the best choice. The other states—being together, remaining just friends, or becoming rivals—don’t fit the tension and distance described in this moment of the narrative.
