Answer

Brief Explanations:

The paragraph first presents the negative aspects of having a girl - friend (embarrassment, teasing). The underlined sentence "But when you meet a girl like Ellen, you don't care." serves as an introductory contrast to these negative aspects. It sets up the idea that despite the teasing, meeting Ellen makes it all worth it. So it should be the first sentence.

Answer:

A. The underlined sentence should be the first sentence.
