Read the following sentence. Then answer the question below.

Question

“There are seven slide different positions that can create any note.”

If added to this passage, where would this sentence fit best?

A
paragraph 1

B
paragraph 2

C
paragraph 3

D
None of the above
A trombone is a type of instrument. The musician blows air into one end while vibrating his or her lips. The air and the vibration make a sound. The musician can change the sound by moving a special part of the trombone called the slide.

The slide is a long tube. When the musician pushes the slide out, the trombone makes a low-pitched sound. When the musician pulls the slide in, it makes a high-pitched sound. Each position of the slide can make a different musical note.

Like the trumpet or the tuba, the trombone is made out of a metal called brass. But the trombone is not like the trumpet and tuba in all ways. It is different because of its slide. Trumpets and tubas make different notes when musicians press different buttons on them. Most trombones have no buttons. Only the slide can change the notes that the trombone makes.

Answer 1

The best fit for the sentence "There are seven slide different positions that can create any note." would be:

C paragraph 3

This choice makes sense because paragraph 3 discusses the differences in how notes are produced in a trombone compared to other brass instruments and introduces how the trombone's slide operates in creating different musical notes. The sentence about the seven slide positions provides a specific detail that elaborates on the functionality of the slide mentioned in that paragraph.
