[Video] Q39: To make this paragraph most logical, sentence 5 should be placed

Explanation for Question 39 From the Writing Section on the Official Sat Practice Test 3

Now here at number 39, we're trying to place sentence five, 2 which says continuing the tradition Peter's daughter, 3 Elizabeth introduced the best and strongest cats in Russia to the Hermitage. 4 Right? And so whatever we're doing here, 5 wherever we place this, we need to have already started talking about the tradition. 6 Right? And if we look at after sentence one, we haven't talked about any 7 tradition here. We've simply introduced the museum. 8 So a would be, or not a rather a, 9 B would be too early in the passage. 10 Now, if we look at sentence three sense, three says that Peter, 11 the great introduce the first cat, right? 12 So that first cat introduced the start of the tradition. 13 And then we see that our sentence says that they are continuing the tradition 14 by introducing more cats. So it should make sense that sentence five can actually 15 go after sentence three, because three shows us the start of that tradition. 16 Um, five shows us how that same person Peter right now we've seen Peter 17 the great, so that's another strong connection between these two sentences, 18 how she continued that tradition. And then we see later on afterwards. 19 So chronologically, it's going to make the most sense for this to go after 20 sentence. Um, three, the issue with where it is now is that this information 21 pink happened before Catherine, 22 the great right, because this is related to Peter. 23 The great, so it needs to be closer to the sentence, 24 uh, about Peter, the great before Catherine, 25 and then finally sentenced six, removes it too far away again, 26 it's moving it further away from the discussion about Peter, 27 the great and the start of the tradition, which is not what we want 28 as our best answer then is see.
