Question

the karamazov ninjas by j. robbins
the sound of ninja warriors doing battle filled the living room. the television nearly vibrated off the wall with the effort of playing \super ninja karate attack vii\ at full volume. dmitri and alyosha, ages fourteen and fifteen, launched a series of furious attacks against imaginary foes as i finally looked up from my advanced calculus book. \if you guys dont cut it out, im going to scream,\ i told them, trying to put as much \im the babysitter, so listen up!\ authority into my voice as possible. it didnt help. the two budding warriors began to attempt flips and dazzling spin kicks. \youre going to wish you were nicer to us when were famous stunt men,\ replied alyosha breathlessly. he swung the tie from his school uniform through the air like a pair of nunchucks.
ight,\ i said. \just be sure to thank your longsuffering babysitter when youre accepting your first academy award.\ \stunt men dont go to the academy awards,\ corrected dmitri. \we go to the world stunt awards instead. they are way more awesomer than the oscars.\ \theres no such word as awesomer,\ i groused. the combined noise from the television and the boys was giving me a headache. \maybe you should try studying the dictionary as hard as you study those ninja movies.\ i crossed the room to turn off the television when i heard a horrendous crash behind me. in order to keep the point of view consistent, which paragraph would be the best choice to add to this passage? a. dmitri had tumbled backward into a giant potted plant. i sighed and shook my head. there wasnt enough money in the world to make babysitting the karamazov ninjas worthwhile. b. one of the boys had fallen and knocked over a large potted plant. the babysitter sighed and shook her head. babysitting for the karamazov boys was just too much trouble. c. dmitri had broken a potted plant and spilled dirt everywhere. he looked so comical that the babysitter couldnt help but laugh. she couldnt wait for the evening to be over. d. a giant potted plant had been knocked over, and dirt was everywhere. everything was a mess. you suddenly realized that babysitting for the karamazovs was too much trouble.
