QUESTION: Given that all of the choices are true, which one would most effectively lead the reader from the first sentence of this paragraph to the description that follows in the next two sentences?
When we came in from our walk, Grandpa would
take out one of his dusty shoeboxes from the cellar and sit down next to me. It amazes me how I’ve never seen the same shoebox emerge twice from the attic; his family
records are astounding. In the dusty box were old sepia photographs of family members going about their daily business. My great-grandmother was pictured having kneaded dough in the kitchen.
NO CHANGE
Maple syrup aside, there are lots of things I like
about my family, and my grandpa continued to
astound me with his tales.
Grandpa usually has a good story to tell on our
walks.
No one else in my family has as much passion for
long walks as does my grandpa.
