Question

The first Saturday of spring, Jeremy woke up thinking about only one thing: riding his bike. The only problem was that his bike was buried behind boxes in the garage from his family's recent move. (1) __________ Sure enough, Jeremy could not even locate his bike, which was hidden behind the moving boxes. This was going to be a bigger job than he thought. Sighing heavily, Jeremy began shifting boxes out of the way. (2) __________ This sight made him grin because he knew that he would be riding his bike in no time now. Another 10 minutes later, and there the bike was, a little dusty and with flat tires. Fortunately, the bike pump and a rag were nearby, so he got to work. By the time he'd finished, Jeremy was sweaty and tired, but he barely noticed. With a surge of happiness, Jeremy wheeled out his shiny bike and donned his helmet. (3) __________
Which sentence below best fits in blank #1?
A.
When he awoke, Jeremy called his friend Trevor to ask if he wanted to shoot some basketballs.

Saturdays were Jeremy's favorite day of the week, and they were always over too soon.
D.
His dad had made Jeremy's favorite breakfast, blueberry pancakes with warm maple syrup.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

This option mentions that he went out to the garage, obviously to look for his bike. the next sentence states that he could not find his bike, so the one before must mention that he was searching for the bicycle.
