Question

1. read the sentence. the game proved to be a close one. which sentence best expands or elaborates on this sentence? our team had not lost a game all season. i sat in the bleachers until the end of the game. with a minute left, the game was tied. we barely won the game.

Explanation:

This sentence directly elaborates on "a close one" by describing a tense, late-game situation where the score was even, which exemplifies a close game. The other options do not specifically illustrate the game being close: the first refers to an undefeated season, the second describes spectator behavior, and the fourth only states a narrow win without showing the close nature during the game.

Answer:

C. With a minute left, the game was tied.
