Explanation:

To form a sentence matching the model ("The school was only blocks from our house, and it was here that I first committed the crime of questioning the system."), we analyze the structure. The model has a main clause, a conjunction, and a clause with "it was... that...". We arrange the given phrases: "Without inventing new plays" (context of a team/sport), "it was weeks until the game" (time until event), "yet it became clear" (conjunction and clarity), "that their team wouldn't win it" (completing the "it was... that..." structure). Wait, no—let's re - examine. Wait, the model's structure is [Clause], and it was [place/condition] that [action]. Wait, the given phrases: Let's list them: "without inventing new plays", "that their team wouldn't win it", "It was weeks until the game", "yet it became clear". Wait, maybe the correct arrangement is: "Without inventing new plays, it was weeks until the game, yet it became clear that their team wouldn't win it." Wait, no, the model sentence has "and it was here that...". Wait, maybe the correct sentence is: "Without inventing new plays, it was weeks until the game, yet it became clear that their team wouldn't win it." Wait, let's check the model's structure: "The school was only blocks from our house, and it was here that I first committed the crime of questioning the system." So the structure is [Independent clause], [conjunction] it was [something] that [clause]. So applying that: "Without inventing new plays, it was weeks until the game, yet it became clear that their team wouldn't win it." Wait, but let's check the phrases. The phrases are: "without inventing new plays", "that their team wouldn't win it", "It was weeks until the game", "yet it became clear". So putting them in order: "Without inventing new plays, it was weeks until the game, yet it became clear that their team wouldn't win it." This follows the model's structure: a main clause (without inventing new plays, it was weeks until the game), a conjunction (yet), and "it became clear that..." (similar to "it was here that...").

Answer:

Without inventing new plays, it was weeks until the game, yet it became clear that their team wouldn't win it.
