Transcript

00:03

Okay S firing Shmoop er's five twelve for you There's

00:07

a separate off the page question for you Here we

00:09

go Which of the following sequences of sentences would make

00:13

paragraph to flow Most logically Alright so good in paragraph

00:19

two Let's quickly go through sentences one through five Here

00:24

our house's roof made of sheets heavy limiting panini found

00:26

along the way Him covered patio All right that's one

00:30

two would be When we arrived in panama i couldn't

00:31

believe the heat It was like nothing i'd ever experienced

00:35

And rain It did Three We endured eight months of

00:38

heavy rains followed by four months of dry scorching heat

00:40

That was four and then five It was so intensely

00:43

human that it seemed to be raining at any moment

00:45

Ok that was five Let's think about this all right

00:49

So what would be the best starter here And it's

00:51

always good in these questions just like literally label him

00:53

So it's easy to kind of zip through him Well

00:56

let's see Paragraph to discuss is the author's perception of

00:59

the climate in panama but the sentences aren't ordered effectively

01:03

since paragraph starts with a detail then it back cracks

01:07

like the time we accidentally told grandma that maybe didn't

01:11

wait a second furry elves sweater for the holidays this

01:14

year Yeah Instead it makes the most sense to begin

01:17

the paragraph with when we arrived in panama Yeah that

01:22

would be better on that would provide context for the

01:24

rest of the paragraph Right So that one it eliminates

01:27

the answer Choice It doesn't begin with paragraph two like

01:29

pretty right away See since the best because it puts

01:33

and rain it did before eight months of heavy rain

01:36

Like how awkward would that be to have it the

01:38

other way around Right So the answer is c So

01:41

it goes to five three for one So your first

01:44

sentence then would be when we arrived in panama i

01:48

couldn't believe the heat It was like nothing i had

01:51

ever experienced Then we go to it was so intensely

01:55

humid that it seemed as it should be raining at

01:58

any moment And then we go back to three and

02:00

the rest got it So that's pretty smooth They're pretty

02:03

good to fix their editor Nice job Alright Answer is 00:02:05.756 --> [endTime] c goodbye
