Complete the time traveler's frantic logbook entry by choosing the correct timeline words.
"I dropped my laser screwdriver _________________________ I was sprinting away from an angry Triceratops. _________________________ I managed to safely lock the time machine doors, I finally took a deep breath. Now, I must recharge the battery _________________________ the giant meteor hits the planet!"

The correct answers are:

  1. while
  2. After
  3. before

While is used here to show that an action (dropping the screwdriver) interrupted an ongoing, continuous past action ("was sprinting").

After establishes a logical sequence: first locking the doors, then taking a breath of relief.

Before creates a strict deadline—the battery must be recharged prior to the meteor strike, or our time traveler is doomed!
