Question

Then came our dinner at the Lakeview restaurant. The Lakeview was an expensive restaurant, one of these places where a headwaiter dressed in tails conducted you to your seat, and the only light came from candles and flaming desserts. In one corner of the room a lady harpist played tinkling melodies. Father wanted to celebrate, because he had just been promoted. He worked for an electronics company, and after his English started improving, his superiors decided to appoint him to a position more suited to his training. The promotion not only brought a higher salary but was also a tremendous boost to his pride. —"The All-American Slurp," Lensey Namioka Which event described in this passage happened first? A.The family went to a restaurant. B.Father got a promotion. C.Father’s English started improving.

Answer 1

The answer is (C) Father’s English started improving.

Step-by-step explanation:

It said "Then came our dinner at Lakeview restaurant." but it didn't say they were there yet. On the second paragraph, it states, "Father wanted to celebrate, because he had just been promoted. He worked for an electronics company, and after his English started improving, his superiors decided to appoint him to a position more suited to his training." This means they went to the restaurant to celebrate the dads promotion.
