Question 19 • English 9 CR SUSD (EX)

Read the sentence. I was telling my dad about how much I like starting a new notebook. Which revision of this section of dialogue best shows the narrator’s feelings?

Answer
A
When I open the cover, the smell of fresh paper wafts up to greet me and the crisp, open page fills me with an exquisite sense of possibility.
B
I’m glad to have a new notebook because I’m hoping it will provide inspiration to start working on that short story that’s due in English soon.
C
When I first open the notebook, I take care to crease the cover gently so that it’s nice and flexible, and then I can enjoy writing without fussing.
D
I’m happy about the notebook because now I can get started on writing down the song that’s been floundering in my head all week.

Explanation

Choice A best shows the narrator’s feelings through vivid sensory details: the smell of fresh paper and the open page create a sense of possibility. The words “exquisite sense of possibility” directly convey excitement about starting a new notebook. The other choices focus more on practical tasks or specific projects than on the narrator’s feelings about the notebook itself.
