Step by Step Written Solution
In this exercise, we're looking for the best way to complete a sentence to maintain logical consistency. Let's start by analyzing the main clause provided.
Sentence Completion Analysis
The prompt says: 'As the man attacked me ten minutes after I'd been to the bank'. Note that the first-person pronoun 'I' is used as the subject who went to the bank and was attacked.
Prompt:
'As the man attacked me ten minutes after I'd been to the bank, ____.'
Since the sentence starts with a specific incident involving 'me' and 'the bank', the conclusion must provide a logical reason or consequence related to that specific situation.
Key Points:
- Subject: 'I' (first person)
- Context: Leaving a bank
- Event: Being attacked
Let's evaluate the options. Option A mentions an alarm at home, which is irrelevant to a bank attack. Option B uses 'you', switching the subject inconsistently. Option C uses 'him', which doesn't match the 'I' and 'me' in our prompt.
Evaluating Options
- A) I'd better put an alarm... (Irrelevant location)
- B) you should be... (Subject mismatch)
- C) the robbers must be following him... (Subject mismatch)
