    Spoiler alert: The answer is below the line.

    We recommend that you challenge yourself to answer the question correctly, then learn why the right answer is right and the wrong answers are wrong. Go to satsuccess.org to learn more about test-taking strategies or buy the award-winning online ACT Success Test Prep course.

    Good luck!


    The right answer is H. The antecedent of the pronoun they is the noun phrase gravel and dolomite prairies. Therefore, Sentence 4 should come right after a sentence that makes this apparent. It should also not come between Sentences 3 and 5, as Sentence 5 is clearly supposed to immediately follow Sentence 3. And it makes sense that Sentence 4 should be next to Sentence 2, as both concern the physical characteristics of gravel and dolomite prairies. Of the choices, only H (which places Sentence 4 between Sentences 2 and 3) resolves all of these issues.

    The right answer is NOT F because Sentence 5 needs to come immediately after Sentence 3.

    The right answer is NOT G because this would open a paragraph with a pronoun before making it clear what the noun it represents is.

    The right answer is NOT J because the beginning of Sentence 6 refers to the end of Sentence 5, and so nothing should come between them.
