Question

Jace would like a more effective closing sentence for the third paragraph (sentences 7–10). Which sentence can BEST replace sentence 10 and help Jace accomplish this goal?
A
Jessie reached for one more biscuit and added, "I hope we have these again for breakfast tomorrow."
B
Jessie looked at his brother Juan and said, "Later today, let's go for a swim in the hotel pool."
C
Jessie glanced out the window and added, "The sun's just coming up over the horizon, so we'd better get going."
D
Jessie adjusted his cap and said, "I'm glad I got this new ball cap before we left home."

Answer 1

C

This choice provides a clear, relevant closing action that ties to an observable detail (glancing out the window), gives a reason to leave (sunrise), and smoothly transitions to the next events — making it the most effective paragraph-ending sentence.
