Question

mark and for south carolina. (11) he was there one day and gone the next.
(12) months went by without any sign of bucky, which caused mark to lose hope.
(13) the prospect of encountering his best friend again seemed highly unlikely. (14) but
then one day a man named brett gallagher found an energetic labrador retriever
scampering around his neighborhood in myrtle beach. (15) because the dog was found
at 2:00 a.m., brett decided to name him “deuce”, which is a term meaning the number
two.

(16) brett brought deuce to the grand strand animal hospital for a checkup. (17)
during the examination, they did a scan of the dog’s microchip, which revealed that he
was, indeed, bucky. (18) a microchip is an identifying integrated circuit placed under
the skin of an animal. (19) people at animal shelters can scan a microchip for an
animal’s special id number, which helps chip - carrying pets find their owner.

(20) mark was overwhelmed when he heard the news. (21) bucky was found in myrtle
beach, south carolina, not virginia! (22) he had trailed his owner’s scent for nearly
500 miles. (23) that is a very long journey. (24) mark hastened to the hospital and was
immediately reunited with bucky. (25) lucky for mark, bucky had a microchip.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the extraneous sentence, we analyze the sixth paragraph (sentences 20 - 25), which focuses on Mark's reaction to Bucky's discovery and reunion. Sentence 23 ("That is a very long journey") is a general comment on the 500 - mile journey mentioned in Sentence 22. However, Sentence 25 ("Lucky for Mark, Bucky had a microchip") is out of place as the microchip's role was already explained earlier (sentences 18 - 19) and the paragraph is about the reunion. Wait, no—wait, let's re - evaluate. Wait, the sixth paragraph (20 - 25) is about Mark's reaction, Bucky's location, the journey, and the reunion. Wait, Sentence 25: The microchip was already a part of the earlier story (how Bucky was identified). In the sixth paragraph, which is about the reunion after Bucky was found, Sentence 25 brings up the microchip again, which is extraneous. But wait, the options are 21,22,23,24? Wait no, the options are Sentence 21,22,23,24? Wait the image shows options: Sentence 21, 22, 23, 24? Wait no, looking at the image again: the options are Sentence 21, Sentence 22, Sentence 23, Sentence 24? Wait no, the last option is Sentence 24? Wait no, the user's image: the options are Sentence 21, Sentence 22, Sentence 23, Sentence 24? Wait no, the original text's sixth paragraph: (20) Mark was overwhelmed... (21) Bucky was found... (22) He had trailed... (23) That is a very long journey (24) Mark hastened... (25) Lucky... But the question is about sentences 20 - 25, and the options are Sentence 21,22,23,24? Wait no, maybe I misread. Wait the question is "which sentence should Kevin delete from this paragraph (sentences 20 - 25)". Let's analyze each sentence:

  • Sentence 21: "Bucky was found in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, not Virginia!" – relevant to where Bucky was found, part of the story.
  • Sentence 22: "He had trailed his owner’s scent for nearly 500 miles." – explains how Bucky got there, relevant.
  • Sentence 23: "That is a very long journey." – comments on the 500 - mile journey, relevant to the story's context.
  • Sentence 24: "Mark hastened to the hospital and was immediately reunited with Bucky." – part of the reunion story, relevant. Wait, but maybe I made a mistake. Wait, maybe the extraneous sentence is Sentence 25? But it's not an option. Wait, the options given are Sentence 21,22,23,24? Wait no, looking at the image again, the options are:
  • Sentence 21
  • Sentence 22
  • Sentence 23
  • Sentence 24

Wait, maybe the original problem's sixth paragraph is different. Wait, perhaps the key is that Sentence 23 ("That is a very long journey") is a redundant comment. But no, let's think again. Wait, the paragraph is about Mark's reaction to Bucky being found, where Bucky was found, how he got there, and the reunion. Sentence 23 is a simple comment on the journey length. But maybe the correct answer is Sentence 23? No, wait, maybe I messed up. Wait, the correct approach is to find the sentence that does not contribute to the main idea of the sixth paragraph. The sixth paragraph is about Mark's reaction to Bucky being found and the reunion. Sentence 23: "That is a very long journey" is a minor comment, but maybe the extraneous one. Wait, but let's check the options again. Wait, the user's question: the options are Sentence 21,22,23,24. Let's re - examine the sentences:

  • Sentence 21: Provides location details, relevant.
  • Sentence 22: Explains Bucky's journey, relevant.
  • Sentence 23: Comments on the journey, maybe extraneous as the main point is the reunion.
  • Sentence 24: Describes the reunion, relevant.

But maybe the correct answer is Sentence 23.…

Answer:

Sentence 23
