Question

Read the paragraph from Carla’s personal narrative.

Raul and I argued about the science project. I could tell that he was really mad. Clearly we had different ideas, but which one of us would have an idea about how to solve our differences? I tried to stay calm and see things from his point of view, but the way he was acting made it hard. Maybe it was time to talk to our science teacher.

Which change to the paragraph would most help Carla paint a picture for readers?

adding details to describe Raul’s behavior
adding the narrator’s private thoughts
adding more first-person pronouns
adding dialogue between Raul and the teacher

Answer 2

Answer: adding details to describe Raul’s behavior

Step-by-step explanation:

The text mentions that Cara tried to remain calm in order to be able to see things from Raul's point of view yet Raul's behavior made that hard to do.

Carla should add details describing Raul's behavior so that the readers can know exactly what it was that Raul was doing that made it so hard for Carla to remain calm. This would paint a clearer picture of the situation to readers.
