Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

The writer has found new evidence (reproduced below) and wants to add it to the passage without affecting the current line of reasoning.

According to a study from the University of California, Berkeley, 73 percent of people on public assistance were members of working families, and more than half of fast-food workers were assisted by public programs.

Which of the following is the most logical place in the passage to add the sentence?
A. After sentence 9
B. After sentence 12

Answer 1

Answer: The following that is the most logical place in the passage to add the sentence is B. After sentence 12.

Explanation: This is the most logical place to add the sentence as it supports the idea that people cannot survive on the minimum wage alone, and that there are many working families that still need assistance from public programs. Adding it after sentence 9 may disrupt the flow of the argument as it would add new information without a clear connection to the previous discussion.
