Once an old shipping container has returned from sea, it's likely to be rusty, dented, and not very attractive. (1)if these containers could speak, they would tell stories of grand adventures on the sea. instead of scrapping these steel boxes, however, companies have begun fixing them up and adding electricity, plumbing, and insulation. the containers can be stacked for student housing, office space, retail space, and many other purposes. (2)one london travelodge, which is made of more than 80 shipping containers stacked eight high, looks like any other hotel both inside and out. (3)using shipping containers as the basis of buildings requires that these boxes be available. the economic downturn experienced in many countries including the united states meant that many goods were being shipped from countries such as china. (4)since few countries were exporting as many goods as they were importing, once the cars, toys, and clothes were emptied from the cargo containers, the steel boxes were set aside. selling the boxes was more cost-effective than shipping them back empty, so people in need of inexpensive storage buildings bought some containers. in time, people established companies to convert these containers, which can be purchased for about $1,000 in some cases, into livable space. which sentence in this paragraph does not belong? a) sentence 1 b) sentence 2 c) sentence 3 d) sentence 4

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
