Question

1. The excessive absences policy will be changing next year.

2. The new policy states that credits will be denied to students who have more than ten absences each year.

3. Students with excessive absences will then have to appeal to the school board for reconsideration.

4. Doctors' excuses may be used during the appeal process.

5. Most doctors will not make appointments after 3:00 in the afternoon.
These sentences are part of a paragraph about school absences. Which sentence from the paragraph does not support the main idea and should be removed to improve the logic and coherence?
A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 5

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Explanation:

Number 5 is completely irrelevant, since most doctors' working hours are not related to the question.

Answer 2

The sentence that doesn't back the key idea of the paragraph and therefore, must be removed to enhance the coherence and reasoning would be:

D). 5

• In the paragraph, the sentence that must be removed to amplify the reasoning of the paragraph sentence 5 i.e. "most...afternoon."
• The reason behind this is that it offers insignificant detail regarding the working hours of the doctors which adds an obscure element to the paragraph as it is not associated to the main idea.
• The other sentences contribute to promoting the major idea of the paragraph by elaborating it and adding dimensions to it.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.
