Read the passage. summer vacation everyone kept telling me that a summer trip to hawaii would be the highlight of my summer. it was the worst week of my life. my big sister sobbed the whole way to the airport because she would miss her boyfriend. what an overreaction! the trip was six days long! he’d be there when she got back, but she was convinced she had a ticket to planet loneliness, not maui. after listening to her cry for six hours, i wanted to send her somewhere else, too. she started to cheer up when she saw the beaches, but that didn’t last long. our twin little brothers, who often egged each other on to bad decisions, made possibly their worst choice ever: testing how many days they could spend at the beach without wearing any sunscreen. not even one full day before they were so lobster-red that we had to go to the emergency clinic! after that, the beach was off limits. it was totally ridiculous that i couldn’t go swimming just because they were too silly to wear sunscreen. i wasn’t going to make that mistake. but it didn’t matter. mom decreed, “no beach for anybody.” so lucky me, i spent my vacation watching hawaiian tv and eating take-out food, rubbing lotion on my brothers’ blisters and watching my sister sniffle and text her boyfriend. what a vacation! next time i visit hawaii, i think i’ll go alone. which sentence best matches the style of the passage? we jovially savored food from all of the local takeout hot spots. you would not believe the insane vacation that i just took! the trajectory of my family’s vacation was complicated and captivating. the hawaiian pizza-delivery people were basically the only ones who saw my new swimsuit.
