Practice Question
In context, which is the best version of the underlined portion of sentence 2 (reproduced below)? I first recognize that I am a very stubborn person when I was in grade school and wanted to be able to juggle like my big brother.
Answer Choices

- B: In fact, I first recognize that I am a very stubborn person
- C: I first recognized this trait in myself
- D: The first time I recognize is
Correct Answer: C
