For a moment, she panicked and glanced at the audience in front of her. Nadia spotted her mother in the first row. Seeing her mother made her think of home and Lucky. This time, when she looked down at the piano keys, she imagined she was at home with Lucky beside her. In that moment, her nerves settled as she forgot about the audience eagerly awaiting her performance. Now that it was just her and Lucky, she struck the first note, and the other notes just fell in line with ease. When Nadia hit the last note, she turned to the audience and smiled. Just as she did, the audience erupted in applause. In paragraph 7, which feeling do the words settled and ease illustrate about Nadia? A) her joy about competing in the show B) her comfort after thinking of Lucky C) her pride about playing a difficult song D) her anxiousness to finish her performance
