The correct answer is D, because that is the only appropriate shift in tense. A isn't correct because present perfect tense (have raced) is used inappropriately, when it should have been past perfect. B is also incorrect because past perfect means that that action happened before the storm blew, which is not the case. C features future continuous tense, which is impossible due to shift in tense. Therefore, the answer is D, because there is an appropriate tense in that sentence, past simple.

(A) www.knead2know.com

(B) www.kneadtoknowbakery.com

(E) www.mybakery.com

Answer: (B) www.kneadtoknowbakery.com

Explanation:

The chosen option is the best domain name out of Addie´s ideas because it´s the easiest to remember. Having the business name and the kind of business they run (a bakery) in the domain is the best way for customers to find the website.  The other options lack key information or add numbers and dashes that may make it difficult to find.
