Question

Question Q. Here is a set of instructions for sorting donations. The instructions were written for the employees of a local thrift store. Which sentence in the first paragraph best explains why these instructions are given? Sorting Donations Because we receive so many donations, they must be sorted every day. Not all donations should be sold. It is important that we sort donations correctly so that we can offer high-quality clothing. First, sort donations into “Sell” and “Recycle” categories. Donations that are ripped, stained, stretched, dirty, or in bad condition must be placed in the white recycling crate. All other donations can be sold. Sort the donations that can be sold into the blue bins along the back wall. These bins are marked with signs. Make sure you sort the donations correctly. For example, a woman’s tee shirt should go into the “Women’s Tees” bin, not “Women’s Blouses.” See the photos above each bin for examples of what should be sorted there. A.Because we receive so many donations, they must be sorted every day. B.Not all donations should be sold.

Answer 1

The sentence in the first paragraph that best explains why these instructions are given is:

A. "Because we receive so many donations, they must be sorted every day."

This sentence indicates that the reason for providing instructions on sorting donations is the sheer volume of donations received by the thrift store. Since they receive a large number of donations, it is necessary to sort them out every day to manage the influx effectively.
