To make the plot linear, the best change would be to move D to the beginning. This way, the sequence would clearly show that Marla's work shoes are taken by her sister before Marla starts looking for them, which provides a coherent progression of events leading to her wearing slippers and running for the bus.

So, the correct response is: Move D to the beginning.
