Question

The Kowloon Walled City Park has an extensive and interesting history. The area started as a walled fort during the 1600s, when imperial officials built the structure. They used the fort until 1841, when Great Britain took control of the island. Between 1843 and 1847, people living in the area started building a city within the walls. People lived in the walled city until 1994, when lawlessness and squalor forced government officials to relocate all the inhabitants and tear down the city. Currently, the area is a park filled with beautiful plants and architecture. The Kowloon Walled City Park is a destination that visitors will remember for exquisite views and its rich history.

Why is the author's organizational strategy for paragraph 2 effective?
A) The author provides some historical background about the Kowloon Region.
B) The author saves the most important points for the end of the paragraph.
C) The author claims that the past Kowloon Region is more interesting than the modern Kowloon Region.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A) The author provides some historical background about the Kowloon Region.

The paragraph is written in chronological order. It describes the history of the Kowloon Walled City Park starting with how it began as a fort. The historical background continues all the way to the description of the park now being filled with beautiful plants and architecture. The organizational structure does not save the most important points for the end. It also does not favor the past Kowloon Region over the present Kowloon Region.
