Answer 1

To show a smooth non-linear progression of events, we should choose the option that reflects how the events are interconnected in a less direct way.

The correct choice is:

Taylor, now a teenager, picks an apple off the tree. Apples grow on the tree. A tiny apple tree sprouts from the ground. Taylor, age 10, plants an apple seed.

This arrangement brilliantly reflects a non-linear progression: starting with the end result (picking an apple), reflecting back to the growth processes, and finally showing the initiation of that cycle when Taylor was younger.
