Answer 1

To show a smooth non-linear progression of events, the best arrangement of the sentences would start with the early actions and then move toward the later ones in a logical order. The correct choice is:

Taylor, age 10, plants an apple seed. A tiny apple tree sprouts from the ground. Apples grow on the tree. Taylor, now a teenager, picks an apple off the tree.

This places the time of planting the seed first, then the growth of the tree, followed by the apples maturing, and concludes with Taylor, now a teenager, enjoying the fruit of the tree.
