In the paragraph above, sentence 3 is out of order. Where would it best be placed?
A.
before sentence 1
B.
after sentence 6
C.
before sentence 2
D.
after sentence 5

D. after sentence 5

Explanation:

The best way to do this is to determine the context of each sentence.

1) basic information

2) excerpt from biography

3) word "also" suggests that this is further elaboration on the prizes he has won

4) and 5) introducing awards he has recieved

6) conclusion

Now, it is easy to see that, in order to maintain a logical sequence of events in this text, sentence (3) should be placed after sentences (4) and (5) because it represent a second part of list of all Maidin's awards and recognitions so it can't stay before the first part of the list.
