Zorluk: OrtaSentence Reordering and Placement

The following paragraph is from an essay about the history of musical instruments.

[1] In the early twentieth century, jazz and big band musicians struggled to make their acoustic guitars heard over louder brass instruments. [2] Performers tried various methods to amplify their sound, such as attaching carbon microphones to the wooden body, but these attempts resulted in weak, distorted audio. [3] Known as the "Frying Pan" due to its circular aluminum body and long neck, this instrument used electromagnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into clear electrical signals. [4] The success of this design paved the way for solid-body electric guitars that would dominate popular music for decades to come.

To make this paragraph most logical, where should the following sentence be placed?

"To solve this problem, inventor George Beauchamp developed the first functional electric guitar in 1931."

  1. A
    Before Sentence 1
  2. B
    After Sentence 1
  3. After Sentence 2Cevap
  4. D
    After Sentence 3

Cevap

After Sentence 2
The correct placement is after Sentence 2 because the phrase 'To solve this problem' in the target sentence directly addresses the failed amplification methods and resulting distorted audio detailed in Sentence 2. Furthermore, this placement introduces the 'first functional electric guitar,' which serves as the logical referent for 'this instrument' in Sentence 3.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the target sentence for transitions and pronoun clues.
The target sentence begins with 'To solve this problem' and introduces the 'first functional electric guitar'.
Identifying these clues helps determine the preceding context (which must describe a problem) and the succeeding context (which should refer to the guitar).
2
Scan the paragraph to locate the specific problem described.
Sentence 1 mentions a struggle, and Sentence 2 details the specific attempts at amplification that failed, resulting in 'weak, distorted audio'. This is the problem that needs solving.
The transitional phrase 'To solve this problem' must immediately follow the description of the failed attempts.
3
Verify the connection between the target sentence and the sentence that follows it.
Sentence 3 refers to 'this instrument' and describes the 'Frying Pan'. Placing the target sentence after Sentence 2 means it immediately precedes Sentence 3, providing a clear antecedent ('first functional electric guitar') for 'this instrument'.
Pronoun references must follow their antecedents closely to maintain cohesion and avoid ambiguity.
