E. This dry goods business would later became known as Levi Strauss & Company.

• A. B only
• B. B and C
• C. A and B
• D. A only

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine the most logically consistent sentence given the paragraph's structure and criteria, let's examine each sentence:

• A: This fragment "In 1849, a poor Bavarian immigrant named Levi Strauss." lacks a verb, making it incomplete.
• B: "landed in San Francisco, California," is a complete clause when attached to the appropriate subject from sentence A.
• C: "at the invitation of his brother-in-law David Stern." is a prepositional phrase that complements a clause, but cannot stand alone as a sentence.
• D: "owner of dry goods business." lacks a verb and is also an incomplete sentence.
• E: "This dry goods business would later become known as Levi Strauss & Company." is a correct independent clause but is a separate fact from Levi Strauss's landing in San Francisco.

For proper construction:

• Combine sentence B with the subject from sentence A to form a complete sentence: "In 1849, a poor Bavarian immigrant named Levi Strauss landed in San Francisco, California."

Thus, statement B is independently a complete and correctly structured sentence.
The correct choice is: B only
