<p>I have a quesiton about what this question is asking me to do. </p>
<p>Which of the following sentences would make a smoother transition between sentences 12 and 13 and clarify the connection between them?</p>
<p>[Their art is like our fashion magazines. Roman art may also give us a mirror with which to view our own culture and fashion values.]</p>
<p>A. Like American, Greek, and Egyptian art, Roman art builds on the past.
B. Therefore, the Romans can be compared to Americans through their prestigious publications.
C. Like our fashion magazines, Roman art can show us how to view ourselves.
D. Due to the similarity between the Romans' portrayal of style and ours, studying Roman art gives us special insight into our culture.
E. Fashion magazines and Rome use mirrors to display fashion.</p>
<p>Does this question ask me to find a way to gramatically fix this sentence or to find a way to include another sentence in between these two in order to make them better?</p>
<p>No, the sentences by themselves are grammatically solid. However, due to style, they seem choppy and awkward, so as an editor, your job is too make remove the awkwardness. In this case, the best way to do it is to COMBINE them. This would serve as a transition that would remove the awkwardness of these two sentences. As you can see, both sentences relate to Roman art, so most likely the subject is Roman art. In the first sentence, Roman art is described to be like our fashion magazines. The second sentence says Roman art lets use view ourselves. The sentence that best combines these two sentences is C.</p>
<p>the answer is actually D. But i guess you need the context. The explanation was the following: This statement links the way both cultures view style and themselves. Why is this so?</p>
