Read the opening lines of a poem.

Which lines best conclude the idea of the poem in a logical

order?

A message darts across the screen

As I read it, I grin

Because the words do not make sense

But I read it again

But I read it again

Because the words do not make sense

And I can't hold it in

Because kind words bring happiness

Because kind words bring happiness

And I can't hold it in

Let's just organize the options is a clearer manner before answering:

A) Because the words do not make sense

But I read it again

B) But I read it again

Because the words do not make sense

C) And I can’t hold it in

Because kind words bring happiness

D) Because kind words bring happiness

And I can’t hold it in

Answer:

The lines that best conclude the idea of the poem in a logical order are:

D) Because kind words bring happiness

And I can’t hold it in

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem begins by saying "A message darts across the screen / As I read it, I grin." We now know that the speaker is smiling because of a message. We get curious as to what the message says, why it would cause the speaker to smile. So, logically speaking, the following line should satisfy our curiosity. The line that explains why the message makes the speaker smile is, "Because kind words bring happiness." It's as if the speaker has heard our question. "Why are you grinning? Because kind words bring happiness." Finally, the following line not only complements the idea, but also rhymes with "I grin": "And I can't hold it in." Therefore, the best option is letter D) Because kind words bring happiness

And I can’t hold it in
