Shorter sentences work to speed up the pacing of the story.
Hello. You did not present the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
It is only possible to answer this question if a reading of the text is made. However, we can consider that it is only possible that an author is able to connect the various points of a claim, through the use of a correct and efficient text structure. This is because it is the text structure, which manages to connect the dots in a text.
This structure can be chronological (when connecting the dots through a timeline), sequential (when presenting a sequence of things or events), problem and solution (when presenting how problems were solved), cause and effect (when presenting the cause of some events), comparison and contrast (when it shows the similarities and differences between two elements).
Therefore, to answer this question, you must read the text and identify the type of textual structure that the author uses when submitting a claim to create a monument to Colonel Young.
I would say the tone of this sentence is formal.
D, B, A, C is the order I would put it in
You should begin with a chart that separates both similarities and differences. Read both articles and annotate everything you notice on to the chart. You could then begin drafting all your work and revise.
