Let's solve this step-by-step based on the paragraph titled
"A Day at the Park."
Step 1: Read and Understand the Paragraph
The paragraph describes a sequence of events during a day at the park. We need to
number the sentences from 1 to 6 in the order they happen, based on the story.
Here’s the paragraph with key events highlighted:
> "I love going to the park with my friends.
We always play on the swings when we get there. Also,
my friends and I climb on the ropes. We get excited when
the ice cream man comes. We have to wait in line to get some.
After we finish our ice cream, we usually play tag. I love to run around and catch my friends. They run very fast! Another game we play is Hide and Seek. After I count to ten,
I have to find all of my friends. I look for my friends under the slide and behind the benches. It is easy to find them all! After the game,
our moms tell us it is time to go home. It has been a busy day for all of us!"

Step 2: Identify the Order of Events
Now let’s list the events in the
correct chronological order as they appear in the paragraph:
1.
We play on the swings → First thing they do when they arrive.
2.
I climb on the rope → Mentioned right after swinging.
3.
The ice cream man comes → Next exciting event.
4.
We play tag → Happens *after* finishing ice cream.
5.
I look for my friends under the slide → Part of playing Hide and Seek, which comes after tag.
6.
It is time to go home → Final event, after all games.
Wait — let's double-check the
exact sequence from the text:
- "We always play on the swings when we get there." →
First
- "Also, my friends and I climb on the ropes." →
Second (right after swings)
- "We get excited when the ice cream man comes." →
Third
- "After we finish our ice cream, we usually play tag." →
Fourth
- "Another game we play is Hide and Seek... I look for my friends under the slide..." →
Fifth
- "After the game, our moms tell us it is time to go home." →
Sixth
So the correct order is:
1. We play on the swings.
2. I climb on the rope.
3. The ice cream man comes.
4. We play tag.
5. I look for my friends under the slide.
6. It is time to go home.
