Hmm...which do you think it is?

c

anonymous · Answer

I think it is A.  
The reason I don't think it is C is because of the words "the loud sound."  What loud sound?  As a reader, I don't know what sound you mean YET, so you should start with "A loud sound."  Then, you can explain what the sound is in the next few sentences.

I believe otherwise, I think it is' B.' Because it catches the readers attention and leaves you wanting more information. Like, what is the sound that made whoever collapse. I can see 'B' being a little amateurish, but it is effective. I believe anyways. :)
