Practice Question

In context, where would the following sentence best be placed? Banana consumption surpassed that of apples only 20 years after they were first introduced to Americans.

Answer Choices

  • A: After sentence 3
  • B: After sentence 4
  • C: After sentence 6
  • D: After sentence 7

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'After sentence 4' because the sentence about banana consumption likely follows an introduction of bananas to Americans, which would occur early in the passage (around sentence 4). Other placements disrupt the chronological or topical flow.
