Miral Majed · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Francine's immediate concern is with the mechanical action of filling in the answers on her exam sheet, which is being directly impeded by her pencil tip breaking. This shifts her focus from broader goals (like doing well in the course or on the exam) to the immediate task of successfully bubbling in answers.
