A. Look at the following narrative paragraph.
Yesterday morning, I got up quite early since I had an important assignment
to complete. My mom was surprised, she even scolded me for getting
up that early because it was still dark. After I told her about my science

project and that I got up early to complete it, she was happy. And she
made me some breakfast which I ate immediately. Then, I sat for doing
my project work. When I completed the task, it was already eight. Then, I
got ready for school. My friend Sindhu came to my house at 8:15 and told
me that we needed to reach the bus stop 10 minutes earlier because we
were having a special assembly at school. So, we rushed to the bus stop.
As soon as we reached school, I realized that I forgot to carry the project
work. Later, I asked my teacher for forgiveness and promised her to submit
the project work the following day.
