Question

Select the correct texts in the passage.

Liam is planning a fictional story about a young boy's adventure in the wilderness with his pet dog. Which sentence could be improved by
including dialogue?

“They had been traveling for hours, and Simon was ready to make camp for the night.” “He could tell by the slowed pace of his loyal dog, Bruce,
that he was ready for a break also.” The cold winds had picked up speed, and both travelers had endured the sharp sting as they'd climbed the
steep trail of the mountain. “Simon nodded toward Bruce and told him it was time to call it quits for the day.” He found an open spot that was
sheltered by trees and began unloading his backpack. “Bruce found a mossy spot beneath a tree and curled up, but he never took his eyes off
Simon.” Simon's stomach grumbled, and he wished that he hadn't consumed all of his provisions earlier in the day.

Answer 1

Answer: "Simon nodded toward Bruce and told him it was time to call it quits for the day."

Explanation: This is the answer because the sentence is telling the reader that Simon, "told him it was time to call it quits for the day." So that means Simon is talking and would be better improved if it was dialogue.

Answer 2

"Simon nodded towards Bruce and told him it was time to call it quits for the day."
