Question

Answer 2

B). Alex recognizes the significance of the moment and wants to share it with his family.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given excerpt taken from 'A Visit from the Goon Squad', the chief event occurs is that 'Alex realizes the significance of the moment and wishes to share it with his family'. He is now able to recognize the significance of the moment as reflected by his longingness to be with Rebecca and Cara-Ann. He becomes so impatient(after realization) to share the moment with his wife that he's also described the minutes he took to 'zoom her out and find her in the crowd'. Thus, option B best describes the event that occurs in the excerpt.
