Read the paragraph from Lucy’s narrative. I could see that my neighbor was struggling with the lone bag of groceries cradled in

her arms, but I wasn’t sure what I should do. Grandma June—what all the neighborhood kids had called her for as long as I could remember—had always been the one to care for us, to help us build stronger forts, to grow better flowers, and to learn from our mistakes. To ask if she needed help with something as simple as carrying in one bag of groceries would be like shouting to the world that she was aging, that she was no longer as strong as she once had been. Hesitantly, I walked to the wooden gate that divided our front lawn from hers and stood there as the package she was carrying threatened to spill from her arms. Which element of a narrative should Lucy include next to most effectively move the story forward? a sentence that clearly establishes who is telling the story a reflection that explains what the writer learns from the experience a detailed description of the package in Grandma June’s arms a few lines of dialogue between the writer and Grandma June

Read the paragraph from Lucy’s narrative.

I could see that my neighbor was struggling with the lone bag of groceries cradled in her arms, but I wasn’t sure what I should do. Grandma June—what all the neighborhood kids had called her for as long as I could remember—had always been the one to care for us, to help us build stronger forts, to grow better flowers, and to learn from our mistakes. To ask if she needed help with something as simple as carrying in one bag of groceries would be like shouting to the world that she was aging, that she was no longer as strong as she once had been. Hesitantly, I walked to the wooden gate that divided our front lawn from hers and stood there as the package she was carrying threatened to spill from her arms.

Lucy decides that this may not be the most effective way to tell her story. If she wants to create more suspense in the plot, what would be the best possible change she could make?

She could remove the background information about her past with Grandma June, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders who Grandma June is.

She could include more reasons she is hesitant to assist Grandma June, allowing suspense to build as the reader begins to believe she will not help.

She could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if Grandma June needs help.

She could begin with more stories about Grandma June, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is talking about Grandma June.

The answer is:

a few lines of dialogue between the writer and Grandma June

In the paragraph from Lucy's narrative, the author should include a conversation between the narrator and Grandma June to move the story forward more effectively. In that matter, because the account hooks the reader as to get to know how Lucy approaches her neighbor, it should contain an exchange between them.
