Read the paragraph. Ria looked around the table at her friend's faces in the light of her birthday candles. Her evening was turning out just as she had planned, starting with backyard volleyball and a cookout. A summer storm had sent the group inside, so she and her friends gathered around the kitchen table for cake and ice cream. Soon they would watch a new-release movie she and her mom had rented for the occasion, and her dad had promised to make stove-top popcorn for intermission. And after the movie, the girls wanted to play video games until bedtime. As she leaned in to blow out her candles, Ria saw lightning flash outside, and within seconds, the adjoining rooms went dark. How will the setting most likely affect the plot? The summer storm will flood the backyard volleyball court. The flash of lightning will frighten the group at the table. The darkness will prevent the guests from eating cake and ice cream. The power failure will hinder the movie and video games.

The setting will most likely affect the plot in the way that the power failure will hinder the movie and video games as the girl, her parents and guests are not done yet with the cake and food at the table and as read in the story, they would afterwards watch a new-release movie, and later they girls would play video games until time to go sleep, but now with the power cut they will not be able to do such things because there will not be power for the TV not for the console.
