Question

1. which phrase should be added to the beginning of sentence 26 to improve the transition between the sixth paragraph (sentences 21-25) and the seventh paragraph (sentences 26-28)?

• regardless of the time in history

• despite its failure to prevent world war ii

• as an example to smaller countries

• when compared with other organizations

clear all

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context of transition between paragraphs. The sixth paragraph (21 - 25) likely discusses an organization (possibly the League of Nations or similar) and its failure (like failing to prevent WWII), and the seventh (26 - 28) continues its story. "Despite its failure to prevent World War II" connects the failure (from sixth) to the next paragraph's content, showing a contrast or continuation of the organization's narrative. Other options: "Regardless of time" is too vague, "As an example to smaller countries" doesn't fit unless context is about that, "When compared with others" is about comparison, not transition from its failure.

Answer:

B. Despite its failure to prevent World War II
