Read the paragraph from lucy’s narrative.

i could see that my neighbor was struggling with the lone bag of groceries cradled in her arms, but i wasn’t sure what i should do. grandma june—what all the neighborhood kids had called her for as long as i could remember—had always been the one to care for us, to us build stronger forts, to grow better flowers, and to learn from our mistakes. to ask if she needed with something as simple as carrying in one bag of groceries would be like shouting to the world that she was aging, that she was no longer as strong as she once had been. hesitantly, i walked to the wooden gate that divided our front lawn from hers and stood there as the package she was carrying threatened to spill from her arms.

lucy decides that this may not be the most effective way to tell her story. if she wants to create more suspense in the plot, what would be the best possible change she could make?

she could remove the background information about her past with grandma june, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders who grandma june is.

she could include more reasons she is hesitant to assist grandma june, allowing suspense to build as the reader begins to believe she will not .

she could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if grandma june needs .

she could begin with more stories about grandma june, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is talking about grandma june

The correct answer is C) She could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if Grandma June needs help.

The other answers do not match Lucy's narrative that is the reason that the most suitable answer is C.

I believe the correct answer is: She could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if Grandma June needs help.

If Lucy truly wants to create more suspense in her plot, she should begin with that last sentence as it sounds much more suspicious and mysterious.
