^[1] American architecture has many distinctive styles and signature elements. ^[2] While perhaps newer than its counterparts, Southwestern architecture draws on Spanish and Native American influences that are hundreds or thousands of years old. ^[3] These influences can be seen in the use of native building materials such as adobe and pine timber, both easily found in the Southwest, and in the use of a central plaza or veranda. ^[4] Traditional building elements include walls with rounded corners, exposed timber beams, flat roofs, and a simple, uncluttered aesthetic. ^[5] Some houses are built around a central courtyard; while others open onto a patio flanked by ornate grillwork. 

^[6] Pueblo Revival buildings are dignified by their vigas, which are roof beams that extend beyond the outer edge of walls. ^[7] Recessed windows and doorways with arched tops are also very common in this style of architecture. ^[8] Some famous examples of Pueblo Revival buildings include the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Painted Desert Inn, and various edifices at the University of New Mexico in Santa Fe.

The sentence “One particular category of Southwestern architecture is the Pueblo Revival style, first popularized in the early 1900s.” would fit best before which sentence?

What sentence would best conclude this passage?

^[1] The contemporary feminist movement had its origins more than two thousand years ago. ^[2] Because many people don’t realize it, some of the first feminists were men. ^[3] Early feminists such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were most concerned in achieving education and legal recognition such as property and voting rights. ^[4] Other early feminists avidly rejected society’s narrow domestic vision for women. ^[5] These feminists ranged from Jane Austen to George Eliot.

^[6] Still other feminists were concerned with obtaining equal educational and employment opportunities for women. ^[7] In the field of medicine, there was Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton, and Margaret Sanger, in the field of education there was Virginia Woolf and Mary Wollstonecraft. ^[8] During the twentieth century, issues such as reproductive rights, pay equality, and protection against sexual harassment would arise. ^[9] Recently, men’s rights activists have been opposing the work of contemporary feminists, claiming that the movement seeks to divest men of power and oppress them for the benefit of women. ^[10] Thanks largely to the efforts of these courageous early feminists, women today enjoy more equal rights than at any other time in Western history.

The sentence “Plato and other ancient Greeks were arguing for political parity between the genders long before the twentieth-century feminists, and Jeremy Bentham and Henrik Ibsen also spoke out against the unequal treatment of women.” would best fit between which two sentences?

^[1] Voltaire was an eighteenth-century's French Enlightenment philosopher. ^[2] According to Voltaire, an enlightened person is a rational individual who thinks independently, tolerates others, rejects superstition, and embraces science and reason. ^[3] Voltaire was a strong monarchist who rejected democracy and wanted a ruler who used his or her power to allow free intellectual activity. ^[4] Many enlightenment philosophers gave their own definitions of what an enlightened person was and did.

^[5] Voltaire very much admired the English monarchy, leading him to publish Letters on the English, and he wanted the French monarchy to closely resemble the enlightened English monarchy. ^[6] He did not think that democracy was a plausible form of government because he simply did not have enough trust in the common people and believed that an enlightened despot would be a safer option. ^[7] Ironically, just as Luther’s ideas were twisted and exaggerated to inspire peasant revolts, some of Voltaire’s anti-democratic ideas ended up inspiring the French and American Revolutions.

Which would be the best sentence to insert between Sentence 2 and Sentence 3? 

1 Although vegetarianism is sometimes considered a recent phenomenon, the practice actually has roots in both ancient India and ancient Greece. 2 In Greece, being vegetarian was a way to abstain from eating ‘beings with souls,’ and vegetarianism was primarily practiced by small religious sects or certain philosophical thinkers. 3 Ancient Indian vegetarianism may have been more widespread, as it was mandatory for many Hindus, Jains, and Buddhists. 4 Buddhist scholars argue whether Gautama Buddha ever ate meat. 5 Obviously, vegetarianism is a constantly evolution practice that has changed considerably over the past several thousand years.

6 During the Middle Ages, vegetarianism remained largely outside the cultural milieu in Europe. 7 Certain aseptic religious sects may have avoided eating meat, but the practice didn’t truly gain ground in Western Europe until the Age of Enlightenment. 8 During and before that time, many people still argued that animals existed only for the benefit of humankind. 9 They were opposed by other people who thought that that was an anthropocentric viewpoint.

10 Over time, vegetarianism gradually gained diction with influential thinkers and by the twentieth century, organizations such as the International Vegetarian Union, the North American Vegetarian Society, and the Animal Aid were appearing. 11 What new form will vegetarianism take in the future?

What transitional word or phrase would be the best way to begin sentence three?
