Feedback: In het vinden van de juiste volgorde van zinnen, is het weer goed eerst de
kernzin te zoeken. Dit is wederom de meest algemeen geformuleerde zin. Dat is in dit
geval zin (1). De andere twee zinnen lichten nader toe wat er in de kernzin is
aangekondigd, namelijk dat er behoorlijke variatie is in koopgedrag (shopping habits).
Om vervolgens te bepalen welk voorbeeld eerst genoemd moet worden, dat van Latin
America of dat van Europe and America, moet je die zinnen zelf goed lezen. Bij het lezen
van zin (3) wordt duidelijk dat dit tegengesteld wordt aan iets dat eerder is genoemd (the
response is opposite). Dit kan alleen maar vergeleken worden met de situatie in een ander
gebied, namelijk Latin America. Daarom volgt zin (2) de kernzin en is zin (3) de laatste
zin.
