주어진 문장이 들어갈 위치로 가장 적절한 것은?
Fortunately, however, the heavy supper she had eaten caused her to become tired and ready to fall asleep.
Various duties awaited me on my arrival. I had to sit with the girls during their hour of study. ( ① ) Then it was my turn to read prayers; to see them to bed. Afterwards I ate with the other teachers. ( ② ) Even when we finally retired for the night, the inevitable Miss Gryce was still my companion. We had only a short end of candle in our candlestick, and I dreaded lest she should talk till it was all burnt out. ( ③ ) She was already snoring before I had finished undressing. There still remained an inch of candle. ( ④ ) I now took out my letter; the seal was an initial F. I broke it; the contents were brief.

주어진 문장은 "I dreaded lest she should talk till it was all burnt out." 뒤, "She was already snoring" 앞에 들어가는 것이 가장 적절하다.
"나"는 초가 다 탈 때까지 Miss Gryce가 이야기할까 봐 걱정했는데, 주어진 문장의 "Fortunately, however"(그러나 다행히도)가 그 걱정을 뒤집고, 그녀가 피곤해 잠들 준비가 되었다는 내용이 이어져야 "이미 코를 골고 있었다"는 문장으로 자연스럽게 연결된다.
"I had to sit with the girls during their hour of study." 뒤는 아직 Miss Gryce가 등장하기 전이라 "she"가 가리킬 대상이 없다.
"Afterwards I ate with the other teachers." 뒤는 아직 초가 다 탈까 하는 걱정이 나오기 전이라 "Fortunately, however"가 뒤집을 내용이 없다.
"There still remained an inch of candle." 뒤는 그녀가 이미 잠든 이후라서 잠들 준비가 되었다는 내용이 들어가기에 늦다.
