Question: 616

Where would paragraph 6 most logically be placed?

• A. Where it currently is.
• B. Before paragraph 1
• C. Before paragraph 3
• D. Before paragraph 4

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

(A) The paragraph should stay where it currently is. It concludes the essay, and generally refers to events that come later than the events discussed in the paragraphs beforehand. The other placements would change the chronology of the essay and interrupt the essay's narrative flow.
