Margie's calves were cramped and aching as she slowly pedaled to the top of the steep hill. The painful twinges were a reminder
that this was her first time out on her bike since last October. However, the hill she'd just crested was the toughest part of the ride along Canyon Road, and
her reward would be a long, effortless glide down the other side.
Nearing the bottom of the hill, Margie spotted a puddle right in the middle of her path. With a sense of pure glee that made
her feel like a small child, Margie plowed straight through it, laughing as the muddy water splattered her from head to toe.
Kelly wants to add more vivid and descriptive details to help readers understand what Margie is experiencing.
Which sentence should she add to the blank to most effectively achieve this goal?
1. As Margie moved faster and faster down the shady hillside, she noticed how good the cedars smelled.
2. As Margie rode quickly down the hill, she was aware of the scent of the cedars and the air on her skin.
3. Margie drank in the sharp, green fragrance of the cedars as her bike rocketed down the hill and into the refreshing shade.
4. Margie enjoyed the scent of the cedars as her bike accelerated down the hillside, which was so much shadier than the uphill side.
I am not sure but from reading and understanding I think the best answer choice is C. Many athletes might have decided not to attend the Olympics if they were held as scheduled.
