Question

Read the paragraph from an e-mail. (1) The torrential rain that postponed the festival has finally ceased, but it left a trail of disaster. (2) Rescheduling the annual Pickle Palooza is going to be a huge undertaking. (3) The ceremonial pickle podium floated off during the downpour and hasn’t been seen since. (4) A flock of ducks have taken up residence on it and have been chasing off anyone who comes near them. (5) And, there is a puddle the size of a small lake where the festival field was. What is the best way to reorganize the paragraph to make the writer’s viewpoint clear to the reader?a.1, 3, 4, 2, 5 b.2, 1, 3, 5, 4 c.3, 1, 2, 4, 5 d.4, 5, 1, 2, 3 

Answer 1

I think it would be 2, 1, 3, 5, 4. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is answer B ("2, 1, 3, 5, 4").

In sentence number 2, the writer is introducing the main point she's trying to get across in the e-mail, which is that there's a specific problem with the rescheduling of an event.

Sentence number 1 would know let us understand what exactly is causing this problem: the torrential rain left a disaster behind.

Sentence number 3 follows up giving more details as to why this situation is a disaster and what the specific problem is: the ceremonial podium floated away.

In sentence number 5, we're being introduced to a new difficulty: a giant puddle.

Finally sentence number 4 is developing on the previous one, adding that now there's a flock of ducks in that puddle and they won't let anyone near the place.

Hope this helps!
