Question

The writer is considering deleting sentence 7 (reproduced below) from the passage

“Kennedy's transformation and display of sayings such as ‘higher the hair closer to heaven’ celebrated the daily experiences of salon patrons, reinforcing the self-esteem of stylists and patrons
alike and getting everyone talking.”

Should the writer keep or delete the sentence?

-Keep it, because it indicates the shift from a discussion of the importance of community to a discussion of the artwork itself

-Keep it, because it strengthens the writer's credibility by including a quote that is likely familiar to the audience

-Keep it, because it provides commentary that helps explain how the example of Kennedy's artwork is significant in relation to the passage's overall argument

-Delete it, because it contains details about hairdressing that are not relevant to the paragraph's discussion of art and community

-Delete it, because it introduces a new argument about the role of art that contradicts the writer's main argument in the passage.
