In a story, a comedian faces the problem that people no longer laugh at his jokes. Which paragraph would best set the stage for the story?

He told three of his favorite jokes and got some small laughs. He knew if he just kept going, he would win over the crowd. So, he decided to tell his favorite joke, the one about the time he camped in Central Park. But, when he delivered the punch line, he only heard polite laughing, not the belly laughs he had expected.

He told his three favorite jokes and then continued with some new material. He always found new material helped liven up his act. The old material got stale, both for him and the audience. Fresh material kept the night interesting and made him feel like he was breaking new ground.

His first three jokes didn’t get any laughs. So, he pulled out an old tried and true joke, the one about the moose. This joke always got them laughing. But, when he delivered the punch line, there was only silence. He squinted out into the crowd and was met with silent stares. Near the back, someone coughed.

He told three jokes, just to get the audience warmed up. He would build toward the truly funny material, which he always put in the middle of his set. But you had to gauge your audience. Sometimes an audience wanted the best material first. You had to keep on your toes, or you would never make it in this business.

Which paragraph would best set the mood for a story about three friends who are camping in the haunted woods?

We unpacked our gear, whistling the entire time to raise our spirits. We had packed a wide variety of food, and we looked forward to eating it for dinner. I unpacked my fishing pole and set off for the local pond to catch our main course. After our long hike, we were very hungry.

We slowly unpacked our gear and set up our tents. The sun was slowly setting in the west, and we saw a line of pink-tinted clouds through the trees. I finished staking the tent. Soon we would start a campfire, if the wood wasn’t too wet from the recent rains.

With trembling fingers, we slowly unpacked our gear. The woods seemed unusually quiet. There were no animal noises, no twittering of birds or scurrying of animals, only a dead, dull silence. The surrounding woods were strangely watchful, as if the gloomy trees were waiting for us to fall asleep.

Slowly and carefully, we unpacked our gear and began to set up camp. First, we unrolled the tents and set them up near a cluster of dark boulders. We set out the food we would need for dinner and, ever mindful of bears, put the rest in a bag that we hung from a tree. A cool breeze blew and made the surrounding pines sigh.
