Directions: Starter to the following paragraph has been correctly provided in statement 1. However, the other sentences in the paragraph have been jumbled up. Rearrange the sentences, such as to make coherent sense. I. Columella Well says that in reading the ancient writers we may find in them more to approve than to disapprove, however much our new science may lead us to differ from them in practice. A. The Romans achieved their results by thoroughness and patience. It was thus that they defeated Hannibal and it was thus that they built their farm houses and fences, cultivated their fields, their vineyards and their olive-yards, and bred and fed their live stock. B. Varro quotes one of their proverbs Romanus sedendo vincit, which illustrates my present point. C. The characteristics of the Roman methods of farm management, viewed in the light of the present state of the art in America, were thoroughness and patience. D. The Romans had learned many things which we are now learning again, such as green manuring with legumes, soiling, seed selection, the testing of soil for sourness, the preservation of the chemical content of manure and the composting of the rubbish of a farm, but they brought to their farming operations some thing more which we have not altogether learned--the character which made them a people of enduring achievement.
