read the reflection from karas narrative. 1 ironically, it is from my much younger—and, i used to think, less wise—brother that i learned the value of being honest even when a lie may seem far more tempting at the time. 2 i knew that what he did that day must have been extremely difficult for him. 3 yet there he stood, taking responsibility for his actions with not a glimmer of hesitation. 4 it is this determination and resolve to do what is right—even when what is right is not what is easy—that i remembered many years later in college when faced with a similar predicament of my own. which best revises sentence 2 to make it more precise? watching him bravely tell the truth about what had really happened that day and how he had been the one responsible for the destruction of our neighbors award - winning flower garden, i realized that he knew he would likely face unpleasant consequences. i tried to imagine how difficult it must have been for someone so young to do something so courageous and what must have been going through his mind, but all i could think about was the punishment he would probably receive for doing the right thing

Answer

Brief Explanations:

The original sentence is rather general. The first option provides more specific details about what the brother did (telling the truth about the destruction of the neighbor's flower - garden) and the realization of the speaker about the brother facing consequences. The second option is more about the speaker's speculation and less about making the original sentence more precise about the brother's action.

Answer:

Watching him bravely tell the truth about what had really happened that day and how he had been the one responsible for the destruction of our neighbor's award - winning flower garden, I realized that he knew he would likely face unpleasant consequences.
