B. Here is a paragraph about a person sharing his travel experience in New York. Arrange the

jumbled paragraph in to a well-structure narrative paragraph.
We had lunch at the Otesaga Resort Hotel which is set against the stunning Otesaga

Lake and the food was plentiful and delicious.

After the Erie Canal we drove through the beautiful Otsego County which reminded
me of the Lakes of Killarney with beautiful lakes and stunning scenery. We visited
the Fly Creek Cider Mill & Orchard and were able to sample the delicious local cider
and farm produce.

After lunch, we finally visited the National Baseball Hall Of Fame and Museum where
we had a sample ‘VIP’ tour of the museum. To round out the day we visited Hyde
Hall; the home of five generations of the Clarke Family and was listed as a National
Historic Landmark in 1986.
