A noted expert has written, “Health and hygiene are still represented today by the rod of Asclepius, a snake-entwined staff” (Atkin 286).

Answer 1

where 2 is in the paragraph .

Answer 2

The quotation should be placed between paragraphs 2 and 3, that is, the quotation should be placed just after the paragraph that talks about the daughter of Asclepius.

Step-by-step explanation:

When writing an essay, the author should make sure there is a link between the paragraphs that ensures a logical sequence between the information. For this reason, the quote, "A noted expert has written, “Health and hygiene are still represented today by the rod of Asclepius, a snake-entwined staff” (Atkin 286)." should be introduced in the essay soon after paragraph 2 which is a paragra that talks about the daughter of Asclepius being the goddess of health and hygiene.

In this way the essay will present a cohesive bond where all the paragraphs are connected and all the details are completed to present the subject as a whole.
