Answer:

A. It was a bright and summer day. We were all hot and sticky

Explanation:

A is the only one that makes grammatical sense. The original sentence contains a comma splice, and A helps to fix that. In B, "All of us hot and sticky" does not make any sense as it is missing a verb (were). C is missin a preposition (on). D has a sentence fragment. Through process of elimination, we can see that the answer is A.

Through the Tunnel is a short story written by Doris Lessing. This short story was first published in 1955 in the magazine of American weekly.

The story is about Jerry, who is eleven years old and has come for vacations with his mother, who is a widow. On the second morning of their vacations, during their routine of swimming and sunbathing, when Jerry's mother ask him if he wants to go somewhere else, Jerry denies and rather says that he wants to explore 'wild and rocky bay'.  He wants to swim there because he wants to show his mother that he is mature and grown-up now, and doesn't need his mother to accompany him everywhere.

When Jerry goes through rite of passage which the big boys have made, the story classified that it is a bildungsroman short story or a coming of age story.
