1when my brother jordan brought home a baby raccoon he found in the woods, we thought at first it would be a perfect family pet. 2 we named him tubby because he was so round and plump. 3dad us build a box for him to sleep in. 4 mom found some soft, clean rags for his bed. 5 we laughed and laughed as we watched tubby eat and play. 6 as tubby grew bigger and stronger, our laughter stopped. 7 tubby scattered dad's neckties all over the house. 8 he broke mom's favorite vase. 9 he knocked over jordan's bike. 10 he treed our cat. 11 he even chewed up all the rolled newspapers i had ready for my paper route. 12 finally dad had to call the game warden to come get tubby and to return him to the woods where he belonged. 13 we were sad to see him go, but we had learned a valuable lesson. 14 wild animals do not always make good pets. what connecting words from the paragraph about tubby to establish sequence? "when" and "tubby" "finally" and "ready" "as" and "first" "always" and "because"

The correct linking words to indicate sequence are "as" and "first."

Both are connectors that join different parts of a text and provide the written work with a chronological order.

The other alternatives are wrong  because of the following reasons:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
