Question

Which sentence could be added to the passage to better connect the last two paragraphs?

A.The owners of the car dealership seemed a bit untrustworthy; Dawn should have followed her instincts.
B. From that day forward, Dawn had been faced with more car trouble than she cared to remember.
C.Board cars are well known for breaking down, and they have too many recalls on faulty parts to count.
D.Dawn had been searching for a reliable car because she needed to get to her mechanic's shop safely.

Answer 1

The sentence "From that day forward, Dawn had been faced with more car trouble than she cared to remember" effectively connects the last two paragraphs by relating to the risks and potential car problems mentioned previously.

Step-by-step explanation:

When connecting paragraphs in a passage, it is important to find a sentence that ties the previous ideas together and seamlessly introduces the next point. The passage discusses the risks associated with purchasing cheaper cars from dealers with less accountability, and relates it to Marvin's situation with his risk appetite versus potential car troubles. Based on this context, the sentence that would best provide a connection and transition between the last two paragraphs is:

B. From that day forward, Dawn had been faced with more car trouble than she cared to remember.

This sentence relates to the potential 'headaches' and 'trips to the repair shop' mentioned at the end of the passage, indicating that Dawn's experience aligns with the risks described.
