The most logical order for these sentences is D. 4, 1, 5, 2, 3.
Ordering sentences logically is important in order to build a coherent paragraph, that is, a paragraph that has unity and makes sense.<u> D) is the correct option because the paragraph must start with a presentation of the person that the text is going to talk about</u>, in this case, Dana Torres. Moreover,<u> the word 'trials', which has been used in the first sentence (4), is also used in the second one (1)</u>. This contributes to give coherence to the paragraph. Furthermore,<u> the third sentence (5) refers to 'that excellent performance' that has been mentioned in the previous sentence (1)</u>. In that way, option D) is the most logical order for these sentences.
C. The events actually took place over the course of several years, not over a short time as Shakespeare suggests.
Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" is heavily based on Plutarch's "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans." In "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans", Plutarch shows that the events took place over the course of some years, but that sort of format would have been impossible for a 3 hour play. So Shakespeare had to change it to be over a short period of time.
The correct sentence is C, because the use of the semicolon is correct.
It's when someone makes a fast and false conclusion because they only know the general idea of the thing they are concluding, and not all of the facts, if that makes sense. It's kind of like a stereotype, automatically assuming that someone is a certain way just because they participate in a certain sport, for example.
