Question

Select the sentence from the excerpt that most effectively develops the idea that the narrator is a competent writer.

A few days later, I was sitting down with John, one of the executive editors of the newspaper chain, hearing all the daunting details of being a "cub reporter." Although it sounded intimidating, it was also exciting, and John didn’t seem deterred by the fact that I had no solid experience. He was happy with the few writing samples I’d brought to the interview and offered me the job on the spot. I thought about the opportunity over the weekend and on Monday I let John know I would take the job. There would be a learning curve, but I would also get to write every single day.

Answer 1

He was happy with the few writing samples I’d brought to the interview and offered me the job on the spot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence from the excerpt that most effectively develops the idea that the narrator is a competent writer is "He was happy with the few writing samples I’d brought to the interview and offered me the job on the spot" because this sentence expresses that the editor of the newspaper liked the samples the narrator showed him and that he offered the job means that he thought that the narrator is a good writer.
