- The passage describes a sequence of past events that occurred with Sandra.
- In blank (2), the context suggests the phrase should be "up to her."
- Blank (3) likely needs a word such as "However" to indicate a contrast.
- In blank (4), "at all" fits naturally.
- Blank (5) could be filled with "mistook" given the context.
- Blank (6) likely needs "grimaced" or a similar reactionary word.
- For blank (7), "reminds" fits naturally to describe the woman's appearance.
- Blank (8) could be "storybook," referencing children's literature.
- "Before" instead of blank (9) works before an unexpected action.
- The context of blank (10) requires a past tense word because it describes what happened. Options 1, 2, and 4 do not fit grammatically:
- Option 1 "was snatching" suggests an ongoing action inappropriate here.
- Option 2 "snatch" is present tense and doesn't fit.
- Option 4 "snatches" is also present tense and doesn't align.
- Option 3 "snatched" is past tense and the correct fit for the narrative sequence.
