Read the passage from an argumentative essay. (1) it's no wonder students' grades drop when they enter high school. (2) they are suffering various effects of sleep deprivation. (3) they cannot focus, they fall asleep in class, and they often forget what they have read or heard. (4) they may even hallucinate. how should sentence 3 be revised to clarify relationships among ideas? by connecting it to sentence 2 with "so" by connecting it to sentence 4 with "and" by adding "in addition" to the beginning of the sentence by adding "specifically" to the beginning of the sentence answer is d

by adding "Specifically" to the beginning of the sentence

Adding specifically is the best choice because in sentence 2 the author states that students are "suffering various effects of sleep deprivation". Sentence 3 clarifies what those specific effects of sleep deprivation are. So would not be an effective addition as it indicates a cause and effect relationship which is not what is happening from sentence 2 to 3. And could be a good answer, but the words "may even" already connect hallucinations to sentence 3 so it isn't needed to clarify the relationship between 3 and 4. In addition is not an effective solution because the list of effects is not in addition to what was in sentence 2.
