Answer

Brief Explanations:

We need to find a sentence that creates a more effective opening. Option A directly reveals the key - that Daniel didn't know the ants were fire ants, which sets up the conflict well for the story. Option B is about past picnics in another city and doesn't relate to the fire ant situation. Option C just mentions seeing ants at other picnics without emphasizing the fire ant danger. Option D focuses on Daniel's mom's knowledge rather than Daniel's lack of knowledge about the fire ants.

Answer:

A. But Daniel didn't know that the ants in this park were fire ants.
