(1) Shamsul Maidin is a famous soccer referee from Singapore. (2) He was once a physical therapist, but he gave up his practice
to devote himself to being a referee. (3) He has also won the Singapore League Referee of The Year award four times in five years. (4) Since becoming a referee in 1996, he has won the 2005 Asian Football Confederation Official of the year. (5) Shamsul was the first referee from Singapore to receive this honor. (6) His many accomplishments make it obvious that Shamsul is a highly-respected referee. In the paragraph above, sentence 3 is out of order. Where would it best be placed? A. before sentence 1 B. after sentence 6 C. before sentence 2 D. after sentence 5
Let us first examine the meaning of this misplaced sentence.
It provides us with information regarding Shamsul Maidin's awards and prizes. However it uses the word "also" which implies that his awards have already been introduced and that this only follows from that.
Since his awards and recognitions are first introduced in sentences (4) and (5), this means that this misplaced sentence should logically come after them.
The correct answer is B) This building has been painted by student volunteers. The other options are in the active (A and C), or in the imperative (D).
