“Well, I don’t think it’s __42__ enough without a band!”declared Angela.” and I’m going to see what can be done.”

“I need all of you to help me,” she __47__to our group before school the next day.”Mr. Berry gave me a list of all the names, and suggested we ask each one their __48__ about the band and the extra cost.”
___49___ the day we asked around as Angela suggested, and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost. We were amazed how much __50__ there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.
“I’m surprised,” smiled Mr. Berry, when we gave him the __51__.”I really thought that only a few people __52__ their band and that the cost would be too high.OK. Angela, your next __53__is to find a good band and line them up for the dance. ”
