Kara awoke to the incessant blare of her alarm clock and remembered with a surge of excitement that today was her last day of high ! after a quick shower, kara popped some bread in the toaster, grabbed her backpack, buttered her toast, applied her lip gloss, and raced out the front door. struggling to find her keys in the abyss known as her purse, she momentarily panicked. even though this was the last day of school, kara did not want to be late; she had something very special planned for her homeroom class. after a minute of searching, kara found her keys, hopped in her car, and sped to school. what is this paragraph's organization?
spatial order
chronological order
cause-and-effect order
compare-and-contrast order
order of importance

The correct answer is B. Chronological order

Explanation:

In texts, chronological order is a type of organizational pattern in which details are organized according to time, usually from the oldest event to the most recent one or vice-versa. This type of organization can be identified not only because it includes events organized in time, but also because it includes words such as after, then, first, finally, etc. that indicate sequence and time.

This type of paragraph organization is the one in the text presented, because this text includes multiple details that describe the actions or Kara before going to school from the moment she woke up to the moment she gets into a car to get to school which means details are organized from the oldest event to the most recent one. Besides this, the author of this text uses words such as "after" that show movement in time and therefore chronological order.

d) she is both terrified and excited by the idea of returning to school.

a) she takes one day at a time.

d) she felt like she was an object of ridicule.

d) she tells her daughter not to worry about it because things will get better.\

b) elnora needs money for books and out-of-town tuition. she will raise the money herself.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.
