Question

As you read the paragraph below, decide how relevant each detail is.

The two rowers carefully held both sides of the boat. One at a time each rower climbed into the boat and sat in her seat. When both rowers were in place, they grabbed the oars beside them. The oars were long and made of wood. The rowers pushed away from the dock.

Which fact above is the least relevant?

One at a time each got on and sat in their seat.

The oars were long and made of wood.

The two rowers carefully held both sides of the boat.

When both rowers were in place, they grabbed the oar beside them.

Answer 1

"The oars were long and made of wood."

Reason: the material and length of the oars don't affect the main actions or sequence (getting in, grabbing oars, pushing off), so it's the least relevant detail.
