question 37
where might sentence 12 be placed to be more effective?
after sentence 8
after sentence 9
after sentence 15
after sentence 16

Explanation:

Question 36

To determine the best replacement for sentence 5, we need a sentence that clearly states Aria's position. The first option addresses a specific policy (off - leash dogs) as a safety concern needing attention, which is a clear position. The second option is about taking care of the park's beauty, not a clear position on an issue. The third is about studying the situation, not stating a position. The fourth is a request about the park's use, not a position on a problem. So the first option is best.

To find the most effective placement for sentence 12, we assume sentence 12 relates to the context around sentences 8 - 16. Without the full text, we can reason that effective placement is where the content of sentence 12 logically follows. If sentence 12's content is related to what's discussed in sentences 8 - 9, placing it after sentence 8 or 9 makes sense. But typically, in such questions, the correct placement is after sentence 8 (assuming sentence 12 elaborates on a point introduced around sentence 8).

Answer:

The current policy allowing dogs to freely run off - leash is a safety concern that needs immediate attention.
