By the time we reached the zoo, Jimmy and I were out of breath. Sweat was trickling into my eyes and soaking my T-shirt. “Where . . . is . . . she?” he asked in short gasps as we looked around the main entrance. I was dizzy from running so hard, so I didn’t notice her until she gave me a little wave. There she was, in a short-sleeved green uniform, smiling warmly under the shade of a big oak tree. She looked just like her picture on the website. Her white curls were peeking out from under a straw hat. Select the group of sentences that would follow the given passage most logically.

It was always nice to see my grandma. “We’re worn out,” I said. “Can you please buy us some lemonade?” “Are you Ms. Jackson?” I asked nervously. “My name is Javier, and this is my friend, Jimmy. Sorry, we’re late.” Jimmy and I strolled over to her. “Excuse me,” I said. “Would you mind telling us where the penguins are?” “We’ve got to get out of here,” said Jimmy, and I agreed. Even though I was desperate to get indoors to warm up, I followed him back to the sidewalk.

Correct Answer:

“Are you Ms. Jackson?” I asked nervously. “My name is Javier, and this is my friend, Jimmy. Sorry, we’re late.”
