Read the paragraph from a personal narrative. 1 It may have seemed like an ordinary day to everyone else, but to me, it couldn't have been further from it. 2 Today was my first day working as a waitress at Pete's Pizza Haven, and I could not have been more excited. 3 In fact, I was so excited that I rushed to get ready much faster than I typically do. 4 "I'm ready to go!" I shouted, bouncing down the stairs and flying into the kitchen, where my mom was making breakfast. 5 "I have so much to learn and don't want to be late," I declared for emphasis. 6 My mom just grinned and placed a steaming plate of eggs before me. Which best revises sentence 3 to make it more precise? I had so many grand plans in my head for the money I would soon be making, and I hurried to get ready as quickly as I could. With visions of trendy clothes and piles of spending money dancing pirouettes in my brain, I took a shower and got dressed in record time. As I rushed to shower and be ready on time, I thought about all the different things I could do with the money I would soon be making. Because I was so nervous, I could not stop thinking about my new job even as I rushed to shower and get ready faster than I ever had.

Because I was so nervous, I could not stop thinking about my new job even as I rushed to shower and get ready faster than I ever had is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In this case, the narrative describes the day of the speaker as she was getting ready for her first day at Pete's Pizza Haven as a waitress. Even though it is possible to infer that she wants to get and spend money, this excerpt shows how the speaker felt; we can see that she gets excited and also we can infer that she is nervous because of her actions (the bouncing or the shouting) and due to this the last option is the correct answer.
