Question

one key event in the story is that neel sees an animal and forgets to pay attention to the group. what is the key event that should be included next in a summary of the story? neel is sad when the peacock closes its tail to end the show. neel watches quietly as the peacock opens up its beautiful tail. neel gets one last hologram, but the hovercraft leaves him behind. neel drops his visitor badge, but he quickly finds it in the jungle.

Explanation:

To determine the next key event in the summary, we analyze the context: Neel was distracted by an animal. The next logical event should show the consequence of his distraction. Option C (Neel gets one last hologram, but the hovercraft leaves him behind) shows a consequence of his inattention (being left behind), while the other options focus on the peacock (distraction cause) or a minor event (badge). So C is the most relevant for the summary's sequence.

Answer:

C. Neel gets one last hologram, but the hovercraft leaves him behind.
