Writing a Personal Narrative about an Important Person — Unit test
Question 23 • LCS-Teacher Remediation-M/J Language Arts 3_Q1
Read the paragraph from a personal narrative.1. I remember when Ben first had the idea for a community garden. 2. We were walking home from school past an old abandoned dirt lot. 3. Ben stood and stared through the fence for awhile lost in thought. 4. I thought he was acting strangely. 5. I was walking by the dirt lot again, and there was Ben digging up the dirt with a shovel.
Answer
A
We were walking by the dirt lot again, and there was Ben digging up the dirt with a shovel.
B
The following Saturday, I was walking by the dirt lot again, and there was Ben digging up the dirt with a shovel.
C
I was walking by the dirt lot again, and there was he digging up the dirt with a shovel.
D
Finally, I was walking by the dirt lot again, and there was Ben digging up the dirt with a shovel.
Explanation
The paragraph moves from the first time Ben imagined the garden to a later moment when he began digging. “The following Saturday” clearly signals that time has passed and links the two events. Choice A makes it sound as if the narrator and Ben are still walking together, while choices C and D do not provide as clear a transition.
