Question 4 • SS-English Language Arts 7
Read the conclusion from a personal narrative.Even though we were lost in the desert for several hours, we made it home safely, because we had packed extra food and water. Our families were very relieved to see us alive and well.
Answer
A
“Where is the main trail?” I asked while searching the map.
B
After surviving those miserable hours in the desert, I learned the value of being prepared.
C
My friends invited me to go for a hike, and although it was a hot summer day, I agreed to go, because I had nothing else to do.
D
“Be sure to drink some water,” Tara reminded us.
Explanation
A conclusion usually reflects on the events and shares what the narrator learned. The conclusion says the group got home safely because they had packed extra food and water, so choice B, “After surviving those miserable hours in the desert, I learned the value of being prepared,” fits best. Choices A and D are dialogue from the middle of the story, while C introduces the hike.
