"Argh!" Amber exclaimed as she pulled off her sweater and threw it into a multicolored pile of clothes. She walked into her closet and swept her hand recklessly through the rows of hanging garments, her face reflecting her dissatisfaction. She huffed and grabbed a silver dress. She held it up to the mirror against her body for a moment, sighed, and then stepped into the dress. She gazed into the mirror, and then scowled and threw her fists down in disappointment.

She slid the silver dress back off and threw it onto the ever-growing multicolored pile of clothes.

What problem is Amber having, and will she be ready to meet Scott in 2 minutes? Why or Why not?
