Answer 1

Ming saw an egg, first

Step-by-step explanation:

Analyzing the question by the timeline of events, we have the following:

Ming has a chick --- This is a present event

The chick will be an egg --- This is a future event

The chick was once inside the egg --- This is a past event

Then he saw a tiny beak --- This is also a past event.

And finally, he saw the whole chicken --- This is also a past event.

Analyzing the past events in order of occurrence

Before it became a whole chicken, he saw a tiny beak

Before he saw a tiny beak, he saw an egg

Hence, what Ming saw first was the egg
