Answer 5

This one is a hard one, but the best way to find the answer is to read the paragraph and see what it mostly focuses on, and take away one statement that might be relevant, but still sort of off-topic, or random.

Answer 6

I would say 5 is correct, because the sentence did not fit in the paragraph and was irrelevant
