What would improve the readability of the writer's
paragraph?
O deleting the first two sentences
O providing definitions of unfamiliar words
O presenting a personal opinion about the world maps
O adding an explanation on how globes were
designed
Maps of the world often present the sizes of different
countries and continents incorrectly. Canada, for
instance, is shown to be much larger than its actual
size This misrepresentation can be traced back to a
European cartographer. This cartographer first made
globes of the world and then decided to transpose his
circular design onto a large sheet of paper. Thus, he
created the world map we still use today. These maps
are flawed in many ways they show meridians as flat
lines for example and they show the continents near
the North and South Pole as stretched out, so they take
up more space on paper than they do in actuality
