Answer:

of course, the girls couldn’t wait to jump in the pool on such a hot day.

Step-by-step explanation:

when you have an introduction to a sentence like ‘of course’, you’ll want to take a pause after saying it. that means that you need a comma. if you read through all of the sentences provided out loud, you’ll notice that some of the pauses are not needed. hope this helps!
