Please read these sentences from the text: "Anna's right arm swung forward, whacking the radio console. She struck it again, but her clumsy movements only nudged the volume louder. [...] Anna's left arm shot out and grabbed the right. She wrenched it away from the radio and clutched it to her chest, shaking. Jeremiah peeked out from behind his hands. 'Anna, can you hear us? Are you a zombie?' he asked tentatively. Miraculously, she seemed to be regaining control." What conclusion can be drawn from these sentences?

• Anna cannot stand the sound of bluegrass music.

• Anna has almost completely become a zombie, and there's little her friends can do to save her

• Jeremiah thinks he and the others should leave Anna behind if she's becoming a zombie.

• Anna is partly a zombie, but part of her is still human and is fighting for control.
