I became interested in archery after a class trip to an archery range. We were learning about ancient field sports in gym class, so Mr. Bellamy took us to visit the Fell Oak Range. Although we were each able to try shooting at least twenty arrows, only one person hit the target. Still, I was hooked.[5] I checked out a few archery books from the library, browsed archery magazines in the bookstore, and even built a makeshift bow and arrow out of things I found in the park. Once I’ve saved up enough money, I’ll buy a real bow and a quiver of arrows and practice at the Fell Oak Range until I can hit the bullseye.[5] Which of the following statements, if added here, would provide the most effective transition between the two paragraphs?

’ve done everything in my power to learn about archery.

Practicing would make us better at aiming for the target.

Although many field sports are very old, they can still be fun.

I’d never even seen a bow before, much less used one.

Watching movies isn’t as fulfilling to me as it seems to be for most people. A movie is over in under three hours, and then you’re left wondering what happens to the characters you grew to care for. You watched their lives play out on your screen, and then—suddenly—it’s over. Although television shows are shorter, they take longer to watch. You’re connected to them; you watch them grow and develop at a slower rate. If you’re following along episode by episode, season by season, those characters—those people—could be in your life for years. Which choice would most effectively and appropriately lead the reader from the topic of the first paragraph to that of the second?

Watching a television show, however, gives you a more complex relationship with the characters.

Television shows do share some similarities with movies, but not in the ways you might expect.

Sometimes, filmmakers make sequels to popular movies to answer those questions.

Tensions in Europe were coming to a head, with the French, Spanish, and English all ready to go to war over land and riches. Although the English queen, Elizabeth I, had many foreign suitors who promised peace treaties, she rebuffed their advances and kept them at a distance . This refusal to marry led to many egos being injured.

they never followed through with signing them.

she intended to conquer her enemies on the battlefield.

England was ill-prepared for such a momentous war.
