How can the underlined sentence be revised to improve the paragraph's unity and coherence?
Remove the sentence, as it is unrelated to the topic
Revise the sentence to provide evidence for the claim about climate change
Keep the sentence, as it provides a transition to the next paragraph
Replace the sentence with a sentence that summarizes the main point of the essay
Move the sentence to the conclusion, as it provides a final thought on the topic
Answer: B — The underlined sentence can be revised to provide evidence for the claim about climate change, which would improve the paragraph's unity and coherence. This revision would help to support the main argument and make the paragraph more persuasive. The other options are incorrect because removing the sentence would eliminate potential evidence, keeping the sentence as is would not improve the paragraph's unity, replacing the sentence with a summary would not provide additional evidence, and moving the sentence to the conclusion would not provide a logical flow of ideas. The correct revision requires applying the principle of using evidence to support claims, which is a key aspect of effective essay writing.
