Question

If the writer wished to add a sentence between the first and second sentence of the passage in order to clarity build tension, which of these choices would be most appropriate?​

Answer 1

Answer: D) I could hear the fans roaring, and I knew everyone in the dugout sat with their rally caps in place and their fingers crossed.

Explanation:

The first sentence talks about the narrator's approach to the plate and the second spoke of him hitting the ball.

If the writer were to put a sentence in-between those two, it would have to be something that happened between the approach and the first pitch. This is what option D does as it describes the atmosphere as the narrator approaches the plate.

It also adds the tension needed as it shows how much the narrator needs to do well.
