Read this paragraph from Kelsey's short story.

Amber stopped the car at yet another intersection. She read the street signs --Riley Street and Bishop Street. Neither of these street names seemed familiar. How could I have gotten so turned
around? she wondered. Even though her family moved to Glendale only a few months ago, Amber had felt that she already knew her way around town like a Glendale native. She had even
managed to convince her father, who was not confident of his own knowledge of the area, that she knew where she was going.
Which sentence could best be placed at the end of the paragraph to continue the description of the experience?
However, now that she had pulled up to these two mysterious streets, Amber's faith in herself had quickly faded.
Back in her hometown Amber never got lost when driving because she was familiar with every street.
O Amber's family liked the area, but they had to admit that there was a part of them that still missed their former neighborhood
O On a few occasions, Amber had driven to the library, which was not very far from their new house,

Answer:

However, now that she had pulled up to these two mysterious streets, Amber's faith in herself had quickly faded.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you compare the rest of the possible answers, none directly relate to the story:

Back in her hometown Amber never got lost when driving because she was familiar with every street. (The story does not have to due with Amber's life in her hometown, it has to do with her life in Glendale.)

Amber's family liked the area, but they had to admit that there was a part of them that still missed their former neighborhood. (Again, the story does not have to due with Amber's life in her old neighborhood.)

On a few occasions, Amber had driven to the library, which was not very far from their new house. (Though this relates to Amber driving in her hometown, it is an unnecessary statement that is unrelated to what is happening to Amber now.)

The sentence "However, now that she had pulled up to these two mysterious streets, Amber's faith in herself had quickly faded" effectively transitions from Amber's confidence of knowing her way around town to the original story of Amber getting lost.
