Question

Yesterday, Kissinger met with principal deputies in the State Department to tell them what to expect and to assign tasks to different people. Messages will be sent to heads of state to notify them formally of the change.

Why does the author include this information at the end of the article rather than earlier in the article?


to detail exactly how the transfer of power will proceed

to ensure people read the entire article

because it stresses that Kissinger's role is secondary to Nixon's role

because it describes events that happened after the president's speech

Answer 1

Yes, the correct answer is D.

Including this information at the end of the article helps the reader understand what happened after the president's speech.

This information does explain how some of the transfer of power will proceed, but that is not why the information comes at the end of the article. Only answer D explains this statement's presence at the end of the article.
