Question

Read the following passage:

Eliza, Dominic, and I planned to meet at the movie theater at 7 p.m. I arrived 15 minutes early, bought my ticket, and found a seat. Eliza and Dominic arrived during the previews. A few hours later, the three of us were sitting at the pizza joint, discussing how we should have seen a different movie.

Which phrase most effectively connects the topics in the passage to make the story coherent?

Answer 1

i would say "a few hours later" does the best job of connecting the topics, especially in regards to location. without that phrase, they would be at the movie theater, then randomly at a pizza joint--it wouldn't make sense. "a few hours later" indicates that some time passed so it helps connect their activities at the movie theater to their activities at the pizza joint.

Answer 2

Answer: A few hours later (Apex)

Explanation: its a few hours later becuase with out the other time stamps the story line will still make sense but with out the "few hours later" it would be confusing, and you may ask yourself "how did they go from the theater to the pizza joint?"
