Answer 1

1. (b.) The smell of hot dogs

(c.) Sounds of music

2. (a.) An alarm ringing

(b.) The lights go out

3. (a.) Animated conversation

(c.) Life jackets

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use context clues as well as the process of elimination to figure out which details go together with the sentences properly. Heartbreaking sobs, don't fit in sentence one, as it already says that the mood was happy. Sunshine doesn't go together with sentence two, as it already says that it was late at night. And lastly, the sound of trucks doesn't go together with sentence three, because the setting is on a river.
