Read the original literary excerpt. Which choice most accurately condenses the passage about the bellmaker's flawed casting into an objective summary? Excerpt: When the new bell came from the mold, a pale seam ran along its side. The guildmaster declared it unusable for the tower and ordered another casting. His apprentice struck the flawed bell lightly with a mallet before it was hauled away. The note was lower than expected, but it lingered over the yard until the pigeons lifted from the roof. The guildmaster listened, canceled the new order, and assigned the bell to the chapel by the river.
