Answer 1

• Father goes to get supplies, leaving Gillian in charge of the lighthouse.
• High winds come up blowing a large branch into the lighthouse window.
• Gillian repairs the window and relights the lantern in the lighthouse
• The light guides Father back home.

Step-by-step explanation:

The events ordered above stipulate a logical order in which the script should take place. In that order, Gillian's father, who is a lighthouse keeper, asks Gillian to look after the lighthouse while he goes to get supplies. Gillian quickly accepts the mission, knowing that it is very important that the lighthouse stays on, to guide several travelers, including his father on the way back to the lighthouse. However, the strong wind causes a branch to break one of the windows preventing the light from the lighthouse from being properly dissipated. When that happens Gillian fixes the window quickly, allowing the light to dissipate and guide his father on the way home.
