Question

1. Tanning beds may be popular, but they can cause serious skin damage.

2. Premature aging from repeated tanning results in wrinkled, dry, or discolored skin.

3. It is very expensive to join a tanning salon.

4. Skin cancer can also develop as a result of exposure to tanning beds.

5. People with an increased risk for skin cancer should always limit exposure or avoid tanning altogether.


Which sentence from the paragraph contains extraneous information and should be removed to improve the logic and coherence of the paragraph?

A.) 2
B.) 3
C.) 4
D.) 5

Answer 1

In this case, I would suggest that your answer is B. Because all the other sentences are talking about tanning beds, or tanning and cancer, but that one is talking about joining a tanning salon.
I hope this helps.

Answer 2

3. It is very expensive to join a tanning salon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that should be removed from the paragraph contains irrelevant information to the subject dealt with within the text. The reason is that the paragraph concerns the danger of tanning beds in relation to skin cancer; while the sentence involves the cost of joining a tanning salon, which is unrelated to the subject matter of the paragraph.
