Writing a Research-Based Argumentative Essay about Technology

Question 13 • S1S: English 9B (E2112 - AG)

Read the paragraph.(1) Baseball is unique because it is the only sport in America that does not have a time clock—although tennis and softball are not timed, either. (2) Instead, games last for nine innings, unless there is a tie after the ninth, in which case they go extra innings. (3) Nine-inning games last an average of three hours. (4) Extra innings tack on time to an already long game, but the end is always the most exciting part. (5) Most people in the US watch baseball and are fans of their hometown team.

Answer
A
sentence 2
B
sentence 3
C
sentence 4
D
sentence 5

Explanation

The paragraph focuses on how baseball games are structured and how long they last: games have nine innings, average three hours, and may go longer in extra innings. Sentence 5 shifts to who watches baseball and whether they support their hometown team, which does not develop that focus. The unrelated sentence is “Most people in the US watch baseball and are fans of their hometown team.”
