Question

PLEASE HELP!!

[1] Our son has started playing organized T-ball, a beginner’s version of baseball. [2] “Organized” is what parents call it, anyway. [3] Joe is seven, living in those two or three years when children can manage to throw a baseball a few feet but when what they’re really interested in are things closer at hand: bugs, butterflies, dirt (if they’re in the infield), grass (if they’re in the outfield). [4] Children of that age still think nothing of doing little dances in the outfield, often with their backs to home plate and, consequently, the batter. [5] It’s not as if the outfielders’ positions matter much, though—the ball never gets hit hard enough to reach there.

The writer wishes to add the following sentence in order to emphasize the uncertainty already expressed about an idea in the paragraph:

I still have doubts.

The new sentence would best amplify and be placed after Sentence:

A. 1.
B. 2.
C. 3.
D. 4.

Answer 1

We can say the best place to add the new sentence in order emphasize the uncertainty expressed is, among the given options, after sentence:

B. 2

Why sentence 2?

As is explained in the question, the purpose of the new sentence is to emphasize the uncertainty expressed by the author. Therefore, it must come after the sentence that expresses that uncertainty.

Sentence 1 mentions organized T-ball. Sentence 2 expresses uncertainty about it's being "organized". The other sentences proceed to explain why the author does not see much organization in the sport.

Therefore, the new sentence would be placed correctly after sentence 2, amplifying its uncertainty.
