Ms. Melinda made her debut in 1896 in the company of her uncle John Drew.

First appearance

The correct answer is Option (2) → First appearance

Explanation of options:

1. **First run**: This does not accurately convey the meaning of "debut." "First run" typically refers to the first showing or performance of a play, film, or other production.

2. **First appearance**: This accurately reflects the meaning of "debut." It refers to the first public performance, appearance, or presentation of someone in a particular role or capacity.

3. **First scene**: This doesn't fit the context of the sentence. "First scene" refers to the initial part of a play, movie, or story, not the first public appearance or performance of a person.

4. **First school**: This also does not match the meaning of "debut." "First school" refers to the initial educational institution attended by a person, not their first public appearance or performance.
