His fellow nominees smiled and wished him well, although Clayton sensed daggers in their stares. His heart was beating like a drum, and was so loud in his head that he almost didn’t hear the voice announcing his name. Stunned, he ran to the stage. As he reached for the statuette, his hands were shaking violently. He stumbled through his acceptance speech, relieved once he realized this was the big break he had been hoping for! Which phrase in the passage helps you visualize what it feels like to be nervous? a. “churning stomach” b. “sweaty hands” c. “hands shaking violently” d. all of the above
