Read the paragraph from a research-based informative essay on a world map.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.

A
deleting the first two sentences
B
providing definitions of unfamiliar words

presenting a personal opinion about the world maps
D
adding an explanation on how globes were designed.
