James sat outside the office waiting for the interview. He felt so    36   that he didn’t know what to do with himself. The person who had gone in   37   him had been in there for nearly an hour. And she looked so confident when she went in, not like James. He felt    38   that she had already got the job. The problem was that he wanted his job so much. It meant everything to him.

But now here he was feeling    41  . He couldn’t remember all those things he   42   to say. At that moment, he almost decided to get up and leave. But no – he had to do this.

He got up, legs    47   and forehead sweating and wondered he looked as terrified as he felt.
