Question

April and her friend Norma were emailing back and forth about a pottery class April was taking. April’s last email said: (1) First you’re going to need some old clothes, because you will get dirty. (2) Dump a mound of clay on the wheel and get it spinning. (3) Be sure to keep the clay wet as you shape the vase. (4) It will take a couple of days to cool after you fire it in the kiln. (5) It’s really not that difficult to make a clay pot. Why does April include sentence 5 in her email? A. It is the key concept, that making a clay pot is not that difficult. B. It is a friendly way to convince Norma to take the class with her. C. It provides new information about the clay-molding process. D. It gives a counterargument against Norma’s opinion that pottery is difficult.

Answer 1

The answer is A.It is a key concept, that making clay pot is not difficult.

The reason this is correct is because at the end of the sentence she says it’s not that difficult but as she explains it she keeps it simple and clean so that her friend Norma would understand the simplicity of clay making.
