Zorluk: KolayEvaluating Relevance for Adding or Deleting Content

Sourdough bread is made by fermenting dough using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeast. To maintain a sourdough starter, a baker must regularly "feed" the mixture with fresh flour and water. If the starter is kept at room temperature, it must be fed daily to keep the wild yeast active and healthy.

The writer is considering adding the following sentence to the paragraph:

"Yeast is also used in the fermentation process to brew beer and produce biofuels."

Should the writer make this addition?

  1. A
    Yes, because it provides examples of other common uses for yeast.
  2. B
    Yes, because it explains the chemical process of fermentation in detail.
  3. No, because it interrupts the focus of the paragraph by introducing uses of yeast unrelated to maintaining a sourdough starter.Cevap
  4. D
    No, because it contradicts the paragraph's claim that sourdough starters need to be fed daily.

Cevap

The writer should not add the sentence because it interrupts the focus of the paragraph by introducing uses of yeast unrelated to maintaining a sourdough starter.
The correct decision is to exclude the sentence because the paragraph is narrowly focused on the maintenance of a sourdough starter. Mentioning the role of yeast in brewing beer and making biofuels shifts the focus away from baking sourdough, resulting in a minor distraction.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the main focus of the paragraph.
The paragraph explains the process of maintaining and feeding a sourdough starter.
Understanding the paragraph's main focus is essential to evaluating whether new information is relevant.
2
Evaluate the relevance of the proposed sentence.
The proposed sentence introduces the use of yeast in beer brewing and biofuel production, which deviates from the topic of baking and maintaining sourdough.
Determining if the proposed sentence supports the established focus helps make the keep/delete decision.
3
Choose the option that reflects the correct decision and logical justification.
The correct option is the one stating that the sentence should not be added because it introduces unrelated uses of yeast that distract from the sourdough focus.
Only one option correctly identifies both the decision to exclude the sentence and the correct rhetorical justification.
