## Step 1The problem is asking us to replace sentence 2 in the story with a sentence that better develops the introduction. Sentence 2 is: "She loved her new job and thought it was fun". We need to choose an option that provides more context and detail to the story.## Step 2Let's evaluate each option:### Option A: "She had landed the perfect job, stocking shelves at a local grocery store."This sentence provides more detail about Sawyer's job, which is stocking shelves at a local grocery store. This sentence gives the reader a clearer picture of what Sawyer is doing and where she is.### Option B: "She was glad she had found a job that allowed her to make it to swim team in the evenings."This sentence introduces a new element, Sawyer's swim team, which was not mentioned in the original sentence 2. This could confuse the reader as it introduces a new aspect of the story.### Option C: "She was a little chilly, so she was quite thankful that she had worn a jacket."This sentence is irrelevant to the story as it talks about Sawyer's clothing, which is not important to the story.## Step 3Based on the evaluation, option A is the best choice as it provides more detail and context to the story, which helps to develop the introduction.
