Question text

A story begins like this:

"All right, class," Mrs. Cooper said crisply, "Today, we're going to learn about

gravity." A collective groan arose from her class of twenty-five eighth graders.

Ignoring her students' sounds of dismay, Mrs. Cooper continued, "I need a

volunteer." Her gaze landed on an awkward, black-haired boy about seven seats

to her left who was studiously staring at the tangled laces of his black Converse

All-Stars. "James," she called, "Please come up to the front of the room and bring

your chair with you." As James headed toward his teacher's desk with his chair

in tow, he looked at the floor, trying to ignore the sounds of his taunting

classmates. "Okay," Mrs. Cooper said, "Now, I want you to stand on your chair."

After a few moments, he complied. He stood slightly hunched over, looking

glumly around the room until Mrs. Cooper spoke again. "Now, take this orange in

one hand and this feather in the other. Then, on the count of three, I want you to

let them go," she explained. Holding his arms uncomfortably out in front of him,

he dangled the orange and the feather about six feet above the grey shag

carpet. "One, two," Mrs. Cooper called. "Thr--" Just then, the door burst open,

and Oliver Sutton, a tall, sandy-haired boy, barreled into the room. The story

continues: A moment later, he crashed into James' chair, sending James, the

orange, and the feather hurtling through the air. There are only two sentences

left in the story.

Remembering that the concluding sentence should relate to the topic sentence,

in which order should they go?

Select one:

a. The class, James included, erupted into laughter. "Now that's gravity," Mrs.

Cooper managed to say between her chuckles.

b. "Now that's gravity," Mrs. Cooper managed to say between her chuckles. The

class, James included, erupted into laughter.
