MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

2 mins • 1 pt

Read the sentence.


I was telling my dad about how much I like starting a new notebook.


Which revision of this section of dialogue best shows the narrator’s feelings?

When I open the cover, the smell of fresh paper wafts up to greet me and the crisp, open page fills me with an exquisite sense of possibility.

When I first open the notebook, I take care to crease the cover gently so that it’s nice and flexible, and then I can enjoy writing without fussing.

I’m happy about the notebook because now I can get started on writing down the song that’s been floundering in my head all week.

I’m glad to have a new notebook because I’m hoping it will provide inspiration to start working on that short story that’s due in English soon.
