THE CORRECT ANSWER IS (B).YOU CAN IMMEDIATELY ELIMINATECHOICES (C)...

4.

The correct answer is (B).

You can immediately eliminate

choices (C) and (D) because there is no time frame or direction

indicated. Choice (E) has some merit since there is an element

of contrast between Europeans and Americans. However, the

contrast does not organize the essay. The selection defines an

American, so you must choose between choices (A) and (B). The

piece does not open with lesser evidence and then move to the

most powerful argument, the definition of choice (A). Rather,

several equally important arguments are arranged in a logical, or

developmental, order, choice (B).
