Hurry and here's your smoke to use your brought to

00:04

you by stillness It took forever to arrive All right

00:09

check out the following passage Yeah Which of the following

00:19

sentences would be the best to add to the end

00:21

of the draft and hear the potential answers Well the

00:30

paragraph currently ends with the sentence she hoped that the

00:33

short rest would be enough Sounds pretty good to us

00:36

but we'll give all the answer options a chance to

00:38

impress us before we start making cuts There's no way

00:42

we're signing off on choice B by this point in

00:44

the paragraph were already well aware that the character's life

00:46

is fatiguing or tiring We're told early in the second

00:49

paragraph ordinarily she was as frantic and busy as a

00:52

city in rush hour and the whole passages about her

00:55

needing a break from her stressful life for her So

00:59

if the author ended the paragraph with choice be it'd

01:01

be total overkill Like trying to kill a fly with

01:03

a wrecking ball is just too much ass miley cyrus

01:06

choice is wrong for the same reason Is b she's

01:09

tired We get it already Can we move on place

01:11

We swear if the next answer says anything about oh

01:14

great Look at joyce See Alright this question is trying

01:16

to fake us out by making most of the answer

01:18

similar it's hoping will be impressed by sheer volume and

01:21

assume that some version of this idea must be right

01:24

but we know that bigger isn't always better right guys

01:27

you know like a swollen foot For example Any last

01:30

line that talks about how the girl is tired is

01:32

just plain force It seems we should have gone with

01:35

our gut from the beginning The correct answer is the

01:37

the best thing about current ending is that it leaves

01:39

us guessing we're left to wonder whether the girls break

01:42

will be enough and it makes sense and the peace

01:44

with little mystery is the whole essay is kind of

01:47

the serious Throughout we ask ourselves who is she Where

01:50

is she what's up with her life that it's so

01:52

busy And of course there is the most important question

01:55

of all Why were the frogs also taking breaks pretty

01:59

seriously like what could be stressful about being a fraud 00:02:03.01 --> [endTime] Oh we know snakes no really
