Question

The Great Wall of China is one of the most famous landmarks in the world. The Great Wall is made up of many different walls and fortifications built over the course of more than two thousand years.
Which sentence would maintain a consistent tone if added to the paragraph?


Even though it wasn't built all at once, the Great Wall is still pretty amazing.

If I ever go to China, you can bet I will visit the Great Wall.

The Great Wall is so big that I bet you could see it from space.

The Great Wall is over 13,000 miles long.

Answer 1

The Great Wall is over 13,000 miles long.

It conveys a factual tone.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Great Wall is over 13,000 miles long.

Explanation:

This keeps the tone consistent in explaining the detail of how/what the wall is made (of)

first option goes with author opinion which is not necessary and ruins tone

Second option yet again goes to author's opinion which would ruin tone

Third option is just not scientifically correct and has absolutely nothing to do with how the wall is built.

So that leaves the last option which is the most logical and won't ruin the tone. It strictly adds the fact on how long the wall is with no opinion. Just like with the paragraph!

(Have a great day!)
