Question

Read the paragraph.

Paola lay on her surfboard with the sun washing over her. As she bobbed in the water, she decided that this would be her last attempt to catch a wave today. After two hours of trying, she still hadn’t managed to stand up on the board. And she was still coughing from the big mouthful of saltwater she’d swallowed during her last try. No matter how hard she paddled, she just couldn’t catch a wave and stand up before falling off the board.

Question
Hannah is working on a paragraph to include in a story she is writing about a girl learning to surf. She needs to write a final sentence for the paragraph.

Which sentence best uses description to show how Paola was feeling as she waited for the next wave?

Drag the sentence into the box.

Answer 1

Option 3 is the best answer

Answer 2

option 3 could be the best choice as it describes Paola's decision to wait for the right wave, which suggests that she is being patient and selective in her approach. This could imply that she is determined and focused on achieving her goal, despite the setbacks she has experienced so far. However, it should be noted that option 3 does not explicitly describe Paola's emotions, so it may not be the best choice for conveying her feelings in detail.

The waves were choppy and wind blown, so Paola decided to wait for just the right one
