Question

【題目】完形填空。

So, on the 5 of the dress rehearsal, I arrived ten minutes early. Around the room, I saw several other parents.

As the class would sing ＂C is for Christmas,＂ a child would hold up the letter C. Then, ＂H is for Happy,＂ and on and on 8 all the children presented the complete message ＂Christmas Love＂.

The show was going smoothly, until suddenly, a small, quiet, girl in the front row held the letter ＂M＂ upside down — totally not knowing her letter ＂M＂ appeared as a ＂W＂.
