Question

Select the correct texts in the passage.

Which detail in the draft best shows the writer's use of reflection to develop the narrative?
excerpt from The Color of Freedom
An elderly man with kind eyes behind rimmed glasses sat behind a computer. "Hello, son," he greeted Andre. "How can I help you?"
"Well, I've come to buy the blue 1976 Ford Ranchero that has been sitting right there for the past few months," Andre explained, pointing to the
empty spot on the lot.
"Oh," the man sald, frowning. "Well, I'm sorry, but someone else just bought that car this morning."
Andre's heart sank. While he had been painting Mrs. Robinson's kitchen, someone else had casually driven off with his car. All his hard work had
been for nothing. Tears began to form in his eyes at the thought of riding the bus home.
Seeing the disappointment in Andre's face, the man said, "You know, we have quite a few cars for sale in the back lot."
"Well, I-" Andre started.
"They are priced about the same as the Ranchero was. I'm happy to show them to you."

Answer 2

"Andre's heart sank. While he had been painting Mrs. Robinson's kitchen, someone else had casually driven off with his car. All his hard work had been for nothing."

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, the use of reflection to develop a narrative by an author often involves mentioning occurrences that led to a change of events.

In this instance, reflecting on the fact that Andre was painting Mrs. Robinson's kitchen, resulted in him unable to purchase the car he had in mind initially, thus, adding this detail leads to further development of the narrative.
