Question

Read the body paragraph that Misaki wrote.

(1) Monopolies had a negative impact because having just one company controlling each industry limited
competition. (2) For example, industrialist John D. Rockefeller formed Standard Oil Trust and monopolized 90
percent of the oil industry. (3) Critics argue that merging smaller companies into one large company creates stronger
corporations. (4) However, having just one strong corporation can lead to corruption. (5) In the case of Standard Oil
Trust, the company was accused of bullying smaller businesses and competitors. (6) One unfortunate outcome of
the Industrial Revolution was the creation of monopolies.
What change in organization should Misaki make when she revises the paragraph?
Sentence 2 should be the first sentence.
O Sentence 3 should be the last sentence.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. Sentence 6 should be the first sentence.

Step-by-step explanation

A paragraph is a piece of writing that has a central idea, also known as a topic sentence that generally is at the beginning of the paragraph. In addition, the paragraph consists of secondary sentences, which have the function of arguing, supporting, explaining, and sustaining the main idea.

According to the above, the central sentence of the text is (6) One unfortunate outcome of the Industrial Revolution was the creation of monopolies because this sentence introduces the topic and covers the central idea of the paragraph, while the other sentences argue. So the correct answer is D. Sentence 6 should be the first sentence.
