Note that the sentence says "This is the criterion..."

請注意，這句話是說 "這是標準......"

And it's important to look for pronouns.

而且找代詞很重要。

The pronoun here is "this," so there is probably something

這裡的代詞是 "這個"，所以可能有一些東西。

about a criterion in the previous sentence.

關於上句中的一個標準。

If we insert the sentence at square number 4,

the previous sentence talks about "the standard criterion,"

前一句說的是 "標準的標準"。

and the following sentence says

而下面的句子說

"Yet an equally important criterion".
