Explanation
8. Which one of the following most accurately describes the organization of the passage?
Explanation
The correct answer will correctly follow the organization of the passage. Use your notes on the main point of each paragraph to evaluate the answer choices.
A. No. While the first paragraph makes an observation that perfumes are not respected as art, the middle paragraphs do not elaborate on that idea; rather, they argue that perfume should be art. The explanation in the final paragraph is not an alternative.
B. No. The first paragraph does not offer a thesis, and the final paragraph does not reject a challenge.
C. No. While this answer choice may be tempting, the final paragraph describes a possible reason for the conventional wisdom rather than support for the idea that perfume should be treated as art.
D. Yes. The first paragraph asks why perfume isn’t respected as art, the middle paragraphs discuss why perfume should be respected as art, and the final paragraph discusses one reason that perhaps perfume is not respected as art.
E. No. The first paragraph does not describe a problem, there are no consequences in the middle paragraph, and the final paragraph is focused on a possible explanation even though it makes mention of who’s likely to blame.
Answer: D
