Which of these statements BEST fits into paragraph 2?"

Step-by-step explanation:

Paragraph 1 begins by stating in clear cut terms the occasion that warranted Madison's request (to Ms. Pembroke) - the marching band wants to attend their yearly parade and contests in Florida.

Paragraph 2 then discusses the band's need for more volunteers (in addition to the band director, Ms. Lantzy). Based on Ms. Pembroke's previous history of volunteerism with the band, her name came up for consideration.

Hence, option D. best fits in the body of paragraph 2

"Ms. Lantzy suggested that I contact you because of your past volunteerism with the band." best fits in the body of paragraph 2
