Use the paragraph to answer the question.
Sylvia woke up exactly when she should have been walking out the door to the bus stop. She bolted out of bed, threw on her school clothes, and rushed out the door. She could not be late today. Not today of all days. Just as she rounded the corner to the bus stop, hoping she hadn’t missed it, she felt a sharp tug at her back. A strap of her backpack was tangled in a broken fence. Not today! Sylvia thought to herself.
Which paragraph would help build tension if added to the story?
