Here's a coherent sequence of events based on the options provided:
-
Response area: last year - I watched the weather forecast with a mixture of excitement and dread. Meteorologists were predicting that a huge snowstorm would bring a foot of snow to our state!
-
Response area: a few days ago - I’m sure I will need to do a lot of shoveling, but right now that doesn’t concern me in the least.
-
Response area: now - I’m standing outside and letting the flakes accumulate on my jacket and hat.
This sequence logically follows the anticipation of the snowstorm, the realization of the effort required to clear it, and finally, the immediate experience of the snowfall.
