Paragraph from Sora’s narrative essay.

That day after practice, I was frustrated and stomped home. In fact, I’m embarrassed to say I sulked for the rest of the day. Then my stubborn streak kicked in, and I decided that failure wasn’t an option. I practiced regularly until the day came when I was able to consistently hit the ball.

Which sentence from the paragraph best supports the idea that this paragraph belongs in the middle of Sora’s essay?

Answer:
I don't see the full narrative or any multiple choice questions so I am going to take a guess this is written. Your answer would have to be "In fact, I'm embarrassed to say I sulked for the rest of the day." and "I practiced regularly until the day came when I was able to consistently hit the ball."

Step-by-step explanation:
Using those two sentences, it shows that Sora came home after practice sulking because of a negative outcome during practice (I don't have the narrative so I do not know what happened), and then it shows Sora getting back up and practicing until she was able to hit the ball. We can use rising action, climax, and falling action. From what I can infer, the rising action is that Sora went to practice and she wasn't very skilled, the climax is her missing the ball at practice and practice going bad. The falling action is her going home, sulking, then getting back up and practicing.

Right after the falling action is the end of the story which can help show that the paragraph included is in the middle and not in the beginning or end.
