Question

Which of these statements would make the best opening for a short story in which a first person narrator talks about a crazy day in his life?

A) Jeff and James had been friends for some time.
B) I'd like to tell you just a bit about my life so far.
C) Our hero didn't know it yet, but he was about to experience a crazy day.
D) When I woke up on April 29, I didn't think it would be a particularly crazy day.

Answer 1

The answer is: [D]:
____________________________________________________________
"When I woke up on April 29, I didn't think it would be a particularly
crazy day."
___________________________________________________________
Note: Answer choices, "A" and "C" are incorrect;
since these statements do not reflect the "first person" point of view.
______________________________________________________
We are left with the following:
______________________________________________________
Choice: [B]: "I'd like to tell you just a bit about my life so far." ; AND:
______________________________________________________
Choice: [D]: "When I woke up on April 29, I didn't think it would be a particularly
crazy day."
____________________________________________________
Between choices [B] and [D]; choice [D] is the best (and correct) answer.
Choice [B]: is too general and vague—especially compared to choice [D]—which is more details and specifically addresses the "first person narrator" and "the crazy day in the narrator's life.
