- Sentence E: "It was morning when we reached Dehradun." This sentence adds specific detail to the travel described in Sentence C, indicating the time of arrival at the intermediate location, Dehradun.
- Sentence D: "In the afternoon we decided to go to Mussoorie by private car." This sentence describes the next step in the journey, detailing the decision and mode of transport from Dehradun to the final destination, Mussoorie.
