marisol had included a sentence that does not belong in the third paragraph (sentences 11-17). which sentence should she remove from this paragraph?

○ sentence 14
○ sentence 15

Explanation:

The third paragraph (sentences 11 - 17) focuses on Cole's artistic style, the context of American and European art at his time, and people's views on wilderness. Sentence 14 ("Cole had been born in England but moved with his family to the United States") is about his personal background (birth and relocation), which is unrelated to the paragraph's main topics of his art, art styles, and attitudes toward wilderness. Sentences 12, 13, and 15 relate to art styles or the art - related context, so they belong.
