Question

13) Leilani’s mom always cubed the juicy, yellow pineapple, and she always put the pieces on a large platter. (14) She stuck a toothpick in each cube and then chilled them until we got home from school. (15) Together we would scarf piece after piece.

Hana would like to add a closing sentence to the third paragraph (sentences 13–15) of her story. Which sentence can BEST follow sentence 15 and accomplish this goal?
A
They were so much tastier than any pineapple I'd ever gotten in the grocery store.
B
The toothpicks stood up tall as they stuck out of each piece of pineapple on the platter.
C
Most days of the year we would have yummy snacks and rotate between our two apartments.
D
It was really nice of Leilani and her mom to welcome me into their home after school.

Answer 1

A

Option A best wraps up the paragraph by giving a final, personal evaluation of the pineapple (ties directly to the preceding details). B is redundant, C is off-topic, and D shifts the focus away from the food scene rather than closing it.
