Question: "(21) After an exasperating hour of listening to Carlos animatedly talk, sing, and hum to himself, Sawyer was in need of a respite. (22) She retreated to the break room, reclining comfortably in a chair to check her text messages. (23) Her phone had a crack in the screen, but she could still use it. (24) Within minutes she was crying with laughter. (25) Her best friend, Tamika, had sent her a series of messages describing an awkward encounter she had had at a bookstore. (26) By the time Sawyer read the final text, she was laughing so hard that she could scarcely breathe. (27) Her break time over, she wiped the tears from her eyes and returned to the aisle to put the finishing touches on the paper towel display."" Emma has included a sentence that does not belong in the fifth paragraph (sentences 21—27). Which sentence should she remove? A.Sentence 22 B.Sentence 25 C.Sentence 24 D.Sentence 23
Emma should remove sentence 23. The fifth paragraph describes Sawyer's need for a break and follows with her actions and reactions during this break, focusing on the humor and laughter she experiences from reading text messages from her best friend. Sentence 23, which mentions the crack in her phone screen, is a detail that interrupts the flow of the narrative and does not contribute significantly to the main point of the paragraph. Therefore, removing sentence 23 would make the paragraph more cohesive and focused.
