downtown.

my hockey team won a gold
medal at the tournament last
weekend.

i will be on time unless there is
traffic along the way.

me laugh.

Explanation:

To determine which sentence is best expanded for meaning, we analyze each option:

• "My favorite restaurant is downtown." can be expanded by adding details like the type of cuisine, why it's a favorite, or the specific location downtown.
• "My hockey team won a gold medal at the tournament last weekend." has more specific details (hockey team, gold medal, tournament, last weekend) and less room for expansion compared to the first option.
• "I will be on time unless there is traffic along the way." is a conditional statement with limited elements to expand.
• "The dentist was trying to make me laugh." has a clear action and subject, with less potential for expansion than the first option.

The first sentence, "My favorite restaurant is downtown," has the most potential to add descriptive details (e.g., cuisine, ambiance, specific downtown location) to expand its meaning.

Answer:

My favorite restaurant is downtown.
