Question

by b k mcswan
lilian couldnt believe how out of hand everything had become after her innocuous post. it was only supposed to entertain her friends. after all, skye was an incredible singer - songwriter, and lilian only wanted her friends to know, but now, skye was not talking to her, and she was in danger of losing her new best friend. it all started three weeks ago when lilian was at skyes house and skye mentioned she played the guitar.
how have we been friends for so long, and i never knew you played? lilian asked.
six months is not that long, but it does seem like weve known each other for years, skye admitted, strumming the guitar. then she began a melody that captivated lilian and when she began singing, lilian couldnt believe her friend was so talented. she fumbled with her phone until she had accessed the video camera and began recording the impromptu performance.
this is so going up on my page! lilian announced and before skye could protest, the song was posted to her social media page, and before skye could insist she take it down, it had 15 likes. lilian convinced her friend to let it stay, and they wouldve forgotten all about it had it not gone viral.
now, skye was fielding calls from music producers wanting her to record with them. the producer of a morning show had invited her to perform on live tv and local news people were camped in her yard. not only had lilian not known about her friends talent, but she had not known about her friends modesty that bordered on diffidence, and this deplorable lack of self - confidence had caused skye to become a hermit in her house trying to avoid the publicity.

Explanation:

The story starts with the present - Lilian's regret about her post going viral and its consequences on her friendship with Skye. Then it has a flashback to how it all started at Skye's house. The underlined sentence likely brings the narrative back to the present situation where Skye is avoiding publicity and their friendship is strained.

Answer:

D. It brings the plot back to the present day
