Question

Question 10 (5 points)

In context, which is the best version of the underlined portions of sentences 1 and 2
(reprinted below)?
The European Union (EU)-initially known as the European Community (EC)-was established after World
War II. It was established to unify the countries of Europe economically and promote peace on the continent.
was established to unify, after World War II,
was established after World War II to unify
was established. After World War II it was to unify
established the unification of World War II

Answer 1

Second option

Was established after World War II to unify

Option one has a less preferable structure. Putting more clauses in a sentence makes it chunkier and harder to read.

Option three has an inaccurate structure. It has an unnecessary ( or misplaced)full stop mid sentence.

Option four simply changes the subject from EU to World War 2, which is wrong in this context. Seeing this in an article would give someone a nice chuckle)
