Answer 1

Hint: Thoughts of a person is a personal affair and we generally store our personal document with ourselves where we jot down our thoughts, emotions and feelings. We don’t publicize it.

Complete answer:
We generally don’t make our thoughts public when the matter which concerns us is personal. We usually write them down and keep them with us as personal documents. Let’s look at the options in order to know where does ‘thoughts on the first stage performance with your band’ will go under:
Option A) Diary entry- this is the correct answer. Diary entry is a personal document of an individual where he/she scribbles his/her emotions, feelings and thoughts on a daily basis. So here the thoughts that one will have on the first stage performance will be personal hence this is the correct answer.
Option B) Poster- it’s an incorrect answer. Poster is a kind of advertisement or promotion of any event, product or idea for the consumption of the general public. Hence this is not the correct answer as thoughts on performance is a private affair and we don’t publicize it.
Option C) Headline- it’s an incorrect answer. Headline refers to the heading which appears at the top of a page or article in a newspaper or magazine highlighting important topics. Since thoughts on performance is a private affair which is not meant to be publicized, hence this option is incorrect.
Option D) Journal- it is an incorrect answer. It refers to a periodical that deals with matters of current significance usually on a daily basis. Again this is not the correct answer because thoughts are private affairs and we don’t write our personal experience in journals.

‘Thoughts on first stage performance with your band’ will be written under the format of diary entry.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.
