Question

Which sentence is out of order in this paragraph and should be placed in a different location? A) I was born in the north African country of Morocco. B) So from age 3 until age 9, we lived in Jackson, Mississippi. C) Now, and I can hardly believe it, I'm headed out to college in California. D) When I turned three years old, my father got a job in America, in the state of Mississippi as a college professor of mathematics.

Answer 1

Sentence B) is out of order and should come after sentence D) to maintain proper chronology within the paragraph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that is out of order in the paragraph and should be placed in a different location is sentence B) "So from age 3 until age 9, we lived in Jackson, Mississippi." The chronological order of events is disrupted by this sentence. It would follow logically after detailing the move as a result of the father's job in sentence D).

To make the paragraph coherent and ensure the events are presented in a correct sequence, the sentences should be ordered as follows: A) which introduces where the narrator was born, followed by D) that provides the reason for moving to America, then B) as it describes the period of time they lived in America, and finally C) which indicates the most recent development of heading off to college.
