And she took a room at the best hotel in Rome. When she got to Barcelona and wanted to buy a fancy souvenir for her mom, however, Jane made a sad discovery: she had run out of money. She didn’t even have enough cash to pay for her hotel room that night. She actually had to call home and ask her mom to send her some money.

A few years ago I spent a week in the Dominican Republic. The week was over, and I was at the airport ready to leave when I discovered, to my dismay, that I had forgotten one of my suitcases at my hotel. Quickly, I jumped into a taxi and explained my situation to the taxi driver. We sped off in the direction of my hotel. Suddenly, the taxi driver slowed down so he could talk with the driver of a truck moving along the road next to us. The truck contained live chickens. Without stopping the taxi, the taxi driver stuck his hand out the window and took a live chicken, which he neatly stuck under the seat next to him. Meanwhile, I was getting more and more anxious about my suitcase and making my plane on time. Time wasn’t bothering the taxi driver, though. Instead of heading straight for the hotel, he made a detour to drop the chicken off his home! In the end, however, we managed to get the suitcase and then raced back to the airport. Fortunately, I made it to my plane on time.
Which is the best ending sentence for the paragraph above?
That was the second time I’d been to the Dominican Republic; the first time was eight years ago.

(1) I worked for several months with this goal in mind. (2) But along the way, I started collecting quotes and short stories from the people I met. Taken together, these pictures and captions became the subject of a blog. (3) Blogs are popular with all age groups.

People think of the United States as a rich and plentiful nation. It is, but it is not self-sufficient. Its reliance on foreign sources is made clear every day in the year. Topping the list is oil. Most oil is imported from the Middle Eastern countries of Saudi Arabia and Iran. (1) Or take sugar: sugar cane ranks high in value among imported foodstuffs.
