Which choice resolves the error in this set of instructions?

Rearrange the steps so they appear in sequential order.
Add a sentence that includes an additional list of places where you can buy tie-dye kits.
Revise sentence 5 to read, “Squirt on the dye one color at a time to get the most vibrant colors possible.”
Add an illustration that shows what the completed shirt should look like.

Answer 1

Rearrange the steps so they appear in sequential order.

You need to fold and tie the garment (step 6) before squiring on the dye (step 5); swap those (and keep step 7 after them) so the process is chronological.
