Question

Which sentence is out of order in the paragraph?

1. Hardy delivered the free weekly news bulletin to all the coffee shops, restaurants, and convenience stores in the metro area.
2. Practically everyone on his delivery route was familiar with Hardy, and they would greet him by name when he delivered the small, brown periodical to their establishments.
3. He had been the courier for almost two decades, only missing three weeks.
4. He was the model of consistency to the citizens of the community.
5. Every time someone would greet him by name, Hardy replied with the same retort: “That’s my name!”

Answer 1

La phrase déplacée dans le paragraphe est la suivante :

Il était coursier depuis près de deux décennies et n'a disparu que trois semaines.

Cette phrase semble ne pas correspondre au reste du paragraphe, qui parle principalement du travail de Hardy en tant que coursier et de sa relation avec les gens de la communauté. La mention de sa disparition semble déplacée et pourrait être mieux intégrée ailleurs dans le texte.
