The answer would be (A) again because in a essay you are stating your points and you have a structure on how to do it and it must be consistent throughout the whole essay or its going to be choppy and you wont get a good grade. hopefully that made sense. The other answers wouldn't make sense. So go with (A)
I was looking forward to spending time with my cousins last summer.
Give an introductory but also use something catchy. personally, I'd says something like "My name is _____. it's an interesting name that you don't hear often. _____ means.." and so on.
