This question is missing the instructions. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Read these instructions.
First, check your bow to make sure that it does not have any cracks and that the string is fitted tightly. Second, select an arrow from the quiver. Once you have chosen an arrow, clip the end of the arrow onto the middle of the string. Turn to face the target. Keeping your back straight, pull the string back until it is almost touching your cheek. Next, sight along the arrow at the bull’s-eye at the center of the target. When you are ready, release the string.
What additional information would most strengthen these instructions?
describing what a bow looks like
listing the common brands of bows
explaining the goal at the beginning of the text
evaluating the types of arrows used in archery
Answer:
The additional information that would most strengthen these instructions is:
C. explaining the goal at the beginning of the text.
Step-by-step explanation:
The beginning of the text is quite abrupt. We are told, all of a sudden, to look for cracks in our bow. We take a brief moment to think about what kind of bow the passage refers to. Once this is done, we can assume that "bow" in the text refers to the piece of flexible wood and string used to shoot arrows (instead of a beautiful knot made with fabric, for instance). However, it would have been nice to have contextualization. The instructions would be more effective from the start if readers were told they are being taught to shoot arrows with the purpose of hitting a target. Thus, the best option is:
C. explaining the goal at the beginning of the text.
