Read the excerpt from dominique’s personal narrative.

tired of waiting for the bus, which was late for the fifth day in a row, i sat leafing through an old magazine i had stuffed in my purse the previous night. it was terribly warm for a september afternoon, and the sun cast fleeting shadows on the bus stop sign with each car that passed. i wondered when the weather would get cooler and when the new bus driver would start arriving on time. it was about then that i first noticed the apparent agitation of the man sitting next to me.

finally, the bus arrived and ambled to a gradual stop directly in front of the restless man. the doors widened, and the bus driver greeted the man with his usual banter in his usual monotone.

"good afternoon. how are you today? ”

when writing the next few lines of dialogue, dominique should be certain that the lines

a. provide clues about what will happen later on in the narrative.
b. contain made-up details that make the story more exciting.
c. include everyday language that seems real and natural.
d. use precise words that make both men sound educated.

should be certain that the lines provide clues about what will happen later on in the narrative. This question can be tricky to answer. Immediately you should throw out option B. A personal narrative is a true story about someone's life which means there should not be any made-up details. Also, D can be thrown out. In the passage we've read so far there is no indication that it's necessary to prove that either man is educated. This leaves A and C as possibilities. C could be right because it is important for the scene to be real and natural, but that's because at one point the scene was real and natural. A is the most correct. Why? If this scene with the man boarding the bus and having a simple exchange with the bus driver did not reveal anything that might happen later, it should not be included in the story

try A

Explanation:

i read the first one and he had also picked A so this is just summing up his point

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.
