Read the reflection from Kara's narrative. Which best revises sentence 2 to make it more precise?
Abel
1 Ironically, it is from my much younger-and, I used to
think, less wise brother that I learned the value of being
honest even when a lie may seem far more tempting at
the time. 2 I knew that what he did that day must have
been extremely difficult for him. Yet there he stood,
taking responsibility for his actions with not a glimmer of
hesitation. It is this determination and resolve to do
what is right-even when what is right is not what is
easy-that I remembered many years later in college
when faced with a similar predicament of my own.
Watching him bravely tell the truth about what had
really happened that day and how he had been the
one responsible for the destruction of our neighbor's
award-winning flower garden, I realized that he knew
he would likely face unpleasant consequences.
o I tried to imagine how difficult it must have been for
someone so young to do something so courageous
and what must have been going through his mind, but
all I could think about was the punishment he would
probably receive for doing the right thing.
Although my brother appeared to be acting bravely, I
was certain he was tempted to do the wrong thing that
day to avoid some sort of unpleasant punishment, and
I thought for a second that he would change his mind
at the last moment.
My brother's actions that day were very admirable.
