a book. He already had two books that flunked and thus he traveled to Bombay.
Here he became dejected as his goal to write about Portugal did not
materialize. He wandered through India and reached the town of Pondicherry
which was once controlled by the French Empire. He met Francis Adirubasamy who
became a pivotal character and started the ball rolling to create a book that
is ‘nonfiction’; fact that was
reestablished in other parts of the book with the same fashion. </span>
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.
