Read the conclusion from a personal narrative. Even though we were lost in the desert for several hours, we made it home safely, because we had packed extra food and water. Our families were very relieved to see us alive and well. Which sentence, if added, would make the best revision of the conclusion? "Where is the main trail?" I asked while searching the map. After surviving those miserable hours in the desert, I learned the value of being prepared. My friends invited me to go for a hike, and although it was a hot summer day, I agreed to go, because I had nothing else to do. "Be sure to drink some water," Tara reminded us.

The correct answer is After surviving those miserable hours in the desert, I learned the value of being prepared.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the conclusion should summarize the information of the text and add any ending ideas. In the case of personal narratives, it is common the author adds a final reflection about the experience described; especially the positive or negative impact this had. In this context, the sentence that should be added to make this conclusion better is "After surviving those miserable hours in the desert, I learned the value of being prepared" because this is the only option that refers back to the experienced described and states a positive aspect or lesson this experienced lead to.
