Enrique Mckay · Answer 1

The correct answer is B.

Sentence 6 would be best placed before sentence 1. If sentence 6 came first, it would serve as a good topic sentence to introduce the idea of placement. This sentence would not make sense anywhere else in the paragraph, since the idea of placement is introduced immediately.
