Practice Question
In context, which of the following sentences would most effectively be placed immediately after sentence 10 (reproduced below)? Eventually my stubbornness paid off.
Answer Choices
- A: Stubbornness seems to run in my family, since my brother is just as stubborn as I am.
- B: Stubborn people can achieve much success and satisfaction.
- C: I still like to juggle, even though I am no better at it now than I was in grade school.
- D: I became a pretty competent juggler and am now almost as skilled as my brother.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'I became a pretty competent juggler and am now almost as skilled as my brother' because it directly follows 'stubbornness paid off' by explaining the successful outcome of juggling, maintaining narrative flow. Options A, B, and C are less directly related to the success described.
