The sentences given in this question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper order for the sentences and write this sequence as your answer.1. Environmental standards in the United States generally fall into one of three types: standards for production technology or other behaviour, emissions, and ambient concentrations.A)     Ambient standards pose greater challenges: these require standards that pollution, after dispersing from its source through the air and water, does not surpass some specific level.B)     Technology standards prescribe that a specific technology or technique be used in the production process (for example, a specific type of equipment at a factory or plowing practice for farmers).C)     When pollution emissions are concentrated at a discrete number of sources (power plants and large factories), both types of standards are fairly straightforward to enforce through inspections or monitoring.D)    Emission standards specify a maximum rate of pollution emissions from a source, per unit of time or output.6. For example, eight-hour average concentrations of ozone cannot exceed 0.08 parts per million on more than three occasions per year at any location

Solution

The correct sequence for the sentences is: 1, B, D, C, A, 6.

  1. Environmental standards in the United States generally fall into one of three types: standards for production technology or other behaviour, emissions, and ambient concentrations. B) Technology standards prescribe that a specific technology or technique be used in the production process (for example, a specific type of equipment at a factory or plowing practice for farmers). D) Emission standards specify a maximum rate of pollution emissions from a source, per unit of time or output. C) When pollution emissions are concentrated at a discrete number of sources (power plants and large factories), both types of standards are fairly straightforward to enforce through inspections or monitoring. A) Ambient standards pose greater challenges: these require standards that pollution, after dispersing from its source through the air and water, does not surpass some specific level.
  2. For example, eight-hour average concentrations of ozone cannot exceed 0.08 parts per million on more than three occasions per year at any location.
