The story reads well up through sentence 5, but things get a bit confusing with sentence 6. What makes Renee blush? Is it really in response to her ringing the doorbell? Sentence 7, the answering of the door, should naturally follow sentence 5, the ringing of the bell. So where, then, should sentence 6 go? We learn in sentence 8 that Renee is the only person wearing a costume. If you consider what it is that makes Renee blush, it stands to reason that sentence 6 should follow sentence 8. Thus, the best answer here is B.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
What kind of a house do you live in? Houses come in all different sizes and shapes. Some are of wood while others are of stone or brick.
Brick or adobe houses stay cool in the summer, yet are warm in the winter. The lightweight houses of Japan are designed to survive earthquakes.
Based on the text, what kind of house would be best in a hot desert climate?
1. a lightweight house
2. a stone house
3. an adobe house
4. a wood house
Answer:
3. an adobe house
Explanation:
As seen in the text above, brick or adobe houses heat up in winter and stay cool in summer. This is very important for a house that will be built in the desert. This is because the desert has high temperatures during the day and during the summer, which makes it necessary to have a house that remains cool, leaving residents more comfortable with the temperature. However, the desert has colder winters and extremely low temperatures at night, showing the need for a warm home.
