Question

Read the paragraph from June's research report.

[1] A saguaro cactus is a very large cactus with branches that look like outstretched arms. [2] The saguaro begins Its life under a shade tree.
[3] It grows very slowly. [4] Saguaros can store a lot of water. [5] Even if there is very little rain, saguaros will still bloom because they are able to
store water
June wants to add this sentence to her report: However, it grows very tall, 15 to 50 feet.
Where does the new sentence best fit in June's report?
O 1. after sentence 1
2. after sentence 2
O 3. after sentence 3
O 4. after sentence 4

Answer 1

The new sentence about the saguaro cactus growing 15 to 50 feet tall best fits after sentence 3 of June's report, aligning with the information about the cactus's growth pattern.

Step-by-step explanation:

June's addition to her research report is a detail about the growth characteristics of a saguaro cactus. Given the context of the original paragraph, her sentence regarding height effectively follows the introductory claim that a saguaro grows slowly. It contrasts with the gradual aspect of its growth by emphasizing the ultimate height the cactus can reach. Therefore, inserting the new sentence after sentence 3 flows logically as it expands upon the cactus's growth pattern.

Answer 2

This sentence would fit after 1 since it talks about how wide it is, it would be reasonable for it to talk about its height. I hoped this helped <3
