Question

I watched with horror as the chilly salt water quickly rose from my ankles to my knees to my waist. Time was running out fast. “Someone please help us!” Which revision will complete the paragraph?

add this fourth sentence: We started to panic.

put the last sentence at the beginning of the paragraph

add this first sentence: The capsized boat began to sink.

rewrite the first sentence as two shorter sentences

Answer 1

The answer that would make the most sense would be to add the first sentence: The capsized boat began to sink. There is no context to the paragraph if we do not know the situation or setting. Plus, it would add a little imagery.
