Question

read the paragraph that lukas is planning to include in his narrative essay. running is my life. beginning last summer i practiced every day from the early break of dawn until the heat of the midday sun forced me to take a break. sipping from my bottle of icy water to keep myself hydrated, i dreamed about running a mile in under ten minutes to compete in the statewide race. what should lukas do with this paragraph? he should put it in the beginning of the essay. he should put it in the middle of the essay. he should put it at the end of the essay. he should delete it from the essay.

Explanation:

The paragraph describes the author's daily running practice and a goal related to running, which is a personal narrative element. In a narrative essay, an engaging start (introduction) often introduces the topic and sets the scene. This paragraph introduces the author's passion for running and their practice routine, which is suitable for the beginning to hook the reader and establish the essay's focus.

Answer:

He should put it in the beginning of the essay.
