Review the paragraph about the popularity of the Ford Model T car.

Question

In the early 1900s, engineer Henry Ford set out to build a car that was cost-effective, easy to operate, and durable. The result was the Ford Model T. By using one of the first production assembly lines to manufacture his new automobile, Ford was able to create well-built cars more quickly and more affordably than his competitors. Many people from my hometown worked on the Model T assembly line. Customers flocked to buy Ford's vehicles due to their price and reliability. The first Model T was sold in 1908, and by the early 1920s, more than half of the automobiles on the world's roads were Fords. The Model T was finally retired from production in 1927, but not before over fifteen million vehicles had been sold.
Why should the bolded sentence be removed?

1 it provides information that is offtopic
2 it provides information that is redundant
3 it provides unesscary info

Answer 1

The bolded sentence, "Many people from my hometown worked on the Model T assembly line," should be removed because:

1. It provides information that is off-topic. This sentence introduces a personal anecdote that does not directly relate to the overall popularity and significance of the Ford Model T, which is the main focus of the paragraph. The paragraph is primarily discussing the impact of the Model T on the automotive industry and its widespread appeal, rather than individual experiences related to the assembly line.

Thus, the correct answer is 1: it provides information that is off-topic.
