It is A. Good luck with Keystone School!

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the options.

a. Frank quietly asks what the other people on the block are saying: This option suggests that something out of the ordinary is happening because Frank wants to know what other people are saying. However, it does not explicitly indicate that something unusual is occurring at the moment.

b. Roger is allowed to turn on the TV: This option implies that Roger being permitted to turn on the TV might be unusual. However, without further context, we cannot be certain if this is an abnormal occurrence.

c. Frank announces that he sold 3 tractors: This option suggests that Frank selling three tractors might be an indication that something out of the ordinary is happening. Frank's announcement may raise curiosity or intrigue among the characters, potentially hinting at an unusual event.

d. Arthur comes over to talk: This option implies that Arthur's visit to talk may be an abnormal occurrence. His arrival might indicate that something out of the ordinary is happening.

Given the limited context provided, options c and d both seem plausible. However, without more information, it is challenging to know the exact answer.

To determine the correct response more accurately, I recommend referring to the original text, Thunder On Sycamore Street by Reginald Rose. By reviewing the relevant passage or chapter, you should be able to find the specific event that signifies something out of the ordinary.
