Brian slowly put the note on the refrigerator. He had written it to his mom telling her he would be at his friend Mario’s house for the afternoon. Brian wasn’t sure he could be of any help to Mario and his little sister Aisha as they tried to fly the remote control airplane. “Mario has such neat stuff to mess around with,” Brian thought, “and I sure don’t want to be the one to break another one of their cool things.” By the time Brian had spent some time at Mario's house, he had a little experience working the controls. Soon he could make the airplane fly anywhere he wanted and even do loops in the air. Aisha and Mario treated him as though he’d been flying remotes for years. Which answer choice would be best to conclude this narrative?
