Question

Read the 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 conclusion that this paragraph belongs in the middle of Sora’s 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.

Answer 1

The correct option is:I PRACTICED REGULARLY UNTIL THE DAY CAME WHEN I WAS ABLE TO CONSISTENTLY HIT THE BALL.

This sentence shows that it takes many day for Sora to master hitting the ball consistently. This means that this paragraph is not the beginning of Sora's essay, she will have to describe the type of ball game she is involved in and her failure in hitting the ball before she write this paragraph.

Answer 2

The phrase "That day after practice" suggests that the essay previously explained that given day, and will elaborate on what did happen after practice.
