Which of the following sentences does not fit with the rest of the paragraph above?
A.
The repetition of stitch after stitch is so relax
B.

C.
A ball of wool holds so much potential, and is also a sustainable resource
D.
It helps me pay attention during lectures
The sentence that does not fit with the rest of the paragraph is:
A. The repetition of stitch after stitch is so relax
Explanation:
- A. The repetition of stitch after stitch is so relax: This sentence is grammatically incorrect (should be “relaxing”). Additionally, it does not align well with the focus on the benefits and enjoyment of knitting, which are discussed in the other sentences.
- B. There are other health benefits of knitting too: Fits with the paragraph as it expands on the benefits mentioned.
- C. A ball of wool holds so much potential, and is also a sustainable resource: Fits with the paragraph by discussing the value and sustainability of knitting materials.
- D. It helps me pay attention during lectures: Fits with the personal experience shared in the paragraph about knitting’s practical benefits.
Correct answer:
It seems like you’ve identified C. “A ball of wool holds so much potential, and is also a sustainable resource” as the sentence that does not fit with the paragraph’s main theme, which focuses on the personal and health benefits of knitting.
Explanation:
- C. Although the sustainability of wool is a relevant point, the sentence shifts the focus to the properties of the material rather than the personal or health benefits of knitting, which is the primary focus of the paragraph.
- A. Contains a grammatical error, but is still related to the relaxation aspect of knitting.
- B. Discusses health benefits, aligning with the paragraph’s theme.
- D. Relates to how knitting helps with focus, which ties into the personal benefits.
So, C is indeed the correct answer, as it deviates from the central theme of the paragraph.
