The paragraph below contains numbered sentences.

[1] In 1887, construction began on the Eiffel Tower in Paris as the entrance arch for the 1889 World's Fair. [2] Over the next two years, hundreds of workers assembled the massive iron structure piece by piece. [3] After its completion, the tower was initially criticized by many prominent French artists and intellectuals. [4] Today, however, it is celebrated as a masterpiece of modern architecture and stands as a global symbol of France.

To make the paragraph flow most logically, where should the following sentence be placed?

'These critics called the iron design an eyesore that would ruin the beauty of the Parisian skyline.'

  1. A
    Before Sentence 1
  2. B
    Directly following Sentence 2
  3. Directly following Sentence 3Cevap
  4. D
    Directly following Sentence 4

Cevap

Directly following Sentence 3
The sentence describing the critics' complaints is most logically placed directly following the sentence that introduces those critics. The phrase 'These critics' at the start of the inserted sentence requires a clear antecedent, which is found in Sentence 3's reference to the 'artists and intellectuals' who 'criticized' the tower. This placement provides a smooth transition, detailing the criticism before the paragraph shifts to the tower's current status in Sentence 4.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the key grammatical clue in the sentence to be inserted.
The target sentence begins with the phrase 'These critics,' which functions as a pronoun reference requiring a plural noun antecedent that represents critics.
Locating pronoun-antecedent pairs is the most reliable way to find the correct placement of sentences with demonstrative adjectives.
2
Scan the paragraph to locate the sentence that introduces the corresponding antecedent.
Sentence 3 contains the phrase 'criticized by many prominent French artists and intellectuals,' establishing the identity of the critics.
The sentence to be inserted must immediately follow the sentence that introduces its pronoun reference.
3
Read the entire paragraph in order with the sentence inserted to confirm logical cohesion.
Inserting the sentence directly after Sentence 3 elaborates on the criticism before Sentence 4 transitions to the tower's modern reception, maintaining a logical flow.
Verifying the overall context ensures that no other logical transitions or chronological sequences are disrupted.
