Review: Sentence Usage, Answer 1.1
Oops!
- Question:
- Albert Einstein’s famous quotation "God does not play dice" was his reaction to the theory that the universe is essentially the outcome of random events.
- Answer:
- The answer effective sentence is not correct.
- Explanation:
-
Einstein’s quotation is very effective and deserves a position of emphasis in the sentence. Consider how much more effective the sentence becomes when the quotation is moved to the end:

Moving the quotation to the end makes this a periodic sentence, with the quotation as its climax.
