Question

Read the paragraph from Gayle's story.

Haley and Aunt Casey had to wake up early that morning for their fishing trip. Aunt Casey said the biggest fish were hungry at dawn. At 5:00
A.M., Haley and her aunt loaded the truck with fishing poles, lunch boxes, and a bucket of bait. Then they drove out of town and headed toward Sockeye Lake. ………They were far from town now, and the air smelled of pine. Finally, they saw the deep blue lake waiting for them.

Gayle wants to add a sentence that will help readers better understand the order of events in the story.

Which sentence should she add to the blank to best meet
this goal?


1. After an hour, they turned down a dirt road that led into a forest.
2. Haley felt sleepy and thought about taking a nap for half an hour.
3. Since it was early August, it would probably get very hot later in the day.
4. Because Aunt Casey had insisted on leaving so early, there was very little traffic.


Quickly please I’m in a middle of a test

Answer 1

1. After an hour, they turned down a dirt road that led into a forest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting or narrating a story in order means that the story will be narrated in such a way that the events are told in a sequence, in the pattern of how they occur. This means that the narration will start from the beginning and then eventually move on to the next event, without fluctuating from a past event to a future one and so on.

In the given story, Gayle's narration of the events leading to their fishing trip has been told in order, step-by-step process. And in between the sentences, if Gayle includes sentence 1, then the order or sequence will ensure that the narration is still in the order of what happens.

So, the correct answer is option 1.
