Question

(33) This was going to be great.

Which sentence should replace sentence 33 to help Hana bring her story to a more effective closing?
A
Leilani had once grown a pineapple from a top, so she offered some tips to her mom and me.
B
It took us a little while to decide on the perfect place to plant the pineapple top.
C
I knew I was going to have to be patient, but my mouth was already beginning to water.
D
I was certain that Leilani and I were going to be good friends for a long, long time.

Answer 1

C

This sentence gives a vivid, satisfying close — it ties back to the pineapple, shows Hana’s anticipation, and ends the story on a sensory, memorable note rather than on a bland summary or extra detail.
