Question

genesis iiquestion 4/10the following question asks about the essay as a whole.for the sake of logic and coherence, paragraph 3 should be placed:select one answera where it is now.b before paragraph 2.c before paragraph 5.d after paragraph 5.3along just fine with the mother, father, grandmother, and young child living next door to me. the only issue is that she seems to have some sort of problem with my balcony presence. dont misunderstand, she is not aggressive per se, and i even stop to pet her when i see her being walked down the neighborhood streets. she simply cannot allow me to sit outside without barking at me the entire time.4an oral surgeon, flash forward a few years later, and dr. velasquez moved to scottsdale to start a new practice. thats when a young family with a dog named stella moved in, and my quiet mornings on the balcony ended.when this first began, her owner seemed mortified and tried to soothe her.he then tried to chide her. furthermore, nothing seemed to take, and she simply barked for the entire duration of the time i sat on my balcony some fifty feet above her backyard.

Explanation:

Paragraph 3 introduces a new event (the oral surgeon moving in) that disrupts the quiet balcony mornings, which directly leads to the dog Stella's arrival described in paragraph 4. Placing it after paragraph 5 would break the chronological and logical flow, as paragraph 5 details the dog's behavior that results from the new neighbor mentioned in paragraph 3. Placing it before paragraph 2 would disrupt the setup of the initial balcony issue with the dog. Keeping it where it is maintains the logical sequence: initial balcony problem with the dog → introduction of the new neighbor that caused the change → details of the dog's disruptive behavior after the neighbor moved in.

Answer:

A. where it is now.
