Read the paragraphs.

Sage and Stella were having a blast at the dog park. The minute they arrived, they took turns fetching the ball that their owner threw for them. They played chase with other dogs and even did the doggie obstacle course a few times. They loved wrestling, running, and jumping around without their leashes to hold them back. It made their owner happy to see the dogs having so much fun, but the day wasn’t over yet!
(?) ,the owner loaded the dogs into the car and headed for the bank. The attendant at the drive-through window there always had dog treats for Sage and Stella.

Select the revision a writer should make to the second paragraph to best clarify the order of events.

A) After the park
B) For the last time
C) Meanwhile
D) The next day

A) After the park

Explanation:

To make the second paragraph flow smoothly, it'll make sense to have the transition phrase: After the park since the first paragraph talks about the dogs, Sage and Stella, having fun at the dog park. Answer choice D, especially, doesn't make sense since the last sentence in the first paragraph says "...but the day wasn't over yet!"

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
