Question

Read the paragraph. (1) Every year, our school has a holiday cookie sale. (2) Hundreds of volunteers bake thousands of cookies. (3) Last year, I couldn’t attend because I was ill. (4) All the cookies are sorted by type. (5) People then purchase the cookies by the pound. (6) It is a great fundraiser for the school. What sentence is an example of a digression?
A.)sentence 6
  B.) sentence 1
   C.)sentence 5
   D.)sentence 3

Please help me, section 3 correct?

Answer 1

Well a digression is a temporary departure from the main subject in speech or writing. So because the person writing the paragraph getting ill last year has nothing to do with this years cookie sale, I think you are correct, sentence 3 is an example of a digression. So D is the answer.

Answer 2

D.) Sentence 3
