Answer 1

To make the plot linear, the best change would be to **move D to the beginning**. This would create a clear cause-and-effect relationship where Marla's little sister finding the work shoes happens before Marla's search for them, leading to her wearing slippers instead. The sequence would then flow logically from the sister finding the shoes, to Marla looking for them, to her wearing slippers, and finally running to the bus stop.
