Question

Read the paragraph. PLZ HELP

(1) Owning a pet is popular in the United States. (2) For example, an estimated 83 million people own dogs and about 95 million own cats. (3) However, only about twenty percent of people choose to adopt their pet from a shelter. (4) Specifically, that’s about 3–4 million cats and dogs who are adopted each year from shelters. (5) Finally, 6–8 million enter shelters.

Which transition in the paragraph should be revised?

Revise “for example” at the beginning of Sentence 2.
Revise “however” at the beginning of Sentence 3.
Revise “specifically” at the beginning of Sentence 4.
Revise “finally” at the beginning of Sentence 5.

Answer 1

The answer would be D. "Revise "finally" at the beginning of sentence 5".

The reason this is, is due to the fact that when you read the transition, it makes a jump to the next line, instead of making a smooth flow into the next line. If were to read all the past transitions, they would flow into each line. Thus meaning the "finally" should be revised.

I hope this helps!
