Identify the detail that would come last in a paragraph giving step-by-step directions on how to do something. a. after all this, stay off the deck until the stain dries thoroughly. b. before doing anything, put tape on anything you don't want to paint. c. with that done, you're ready to paint the surface of the deck. d. then apply a coat of stain to the railing.

I noticed that is a process on how to paint any surface, in this case a railing.

In detail the steps are:

1. Cleaning the surface to paint and then put on a tape to cover the parts you don't want to paint, maybe on the wall and floor.

2. Cleaned and covered the necessary parts, now it's ready to be painted. Meanwhile the painting has to be ready.

3.

Now the painting can be applied. If you cover enough the floor and wall the process should be faster.

4. Once applied the stain it is needed to keep away until the painting is dried. After a couple of hours the tape has to be removed.

So the steps in the right order are:

B, C, D, A

Extra comment:

As good as you prepare things at the beginning as fast as you can finish it.

answer: i chose a.

explanation:

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader
