- 00:19
I think you're going to be talking about reasonable conditions
- 00:22
What do you think president decided to leave lincoln relegate

- 00:35
a good thing that my father was a nickel back
- 00:38
T o your insight Okay well wow That's ah politically
- 00:43
charged statement here So let's See where we go with
- 00:46
it First question to make the paragraph flow most smoothly
- 00:51
Where should sentence one be placed All right well think
- 00:56
about this so sentence ones go back right here It
- 00:59
is the making of connections through a rich arts inclusive
- 01:03
curriculum that ultimately empowers a student to develop convictions and
- 01:08
reach their full academic and social potential So let's think
- 01:13
about this since one is more of a concluding sentence
- 01:17
than an introductory one right Putting the sentence last follows
- 01:20
the forward momentum of the paragraph ten sparrow graph begins
- 01:23
with a question gives a wrong answer was probably bad
- 01:26
grammar and then offers a right answer since one elaborate
- 01:30
on that right answer and makes a claim that builds
- 01:33
off of the three proceeding senses So probably ought to
- 01:36
go with the end like right here right Unless we're
- 01:39
playing jeopardy It's tough to answer a question before the
- 01:41
question has even been asked with sentence one where it
- 01:44
is now That's exactly what's happening And you know i
- 01:47
have an aunt who does that always in thanksgiving All
- 01:49
right well if sentence one came after sentenced to let
- 01:52
it sort of kind of makes sense Maybe since it's
- 01:55
answering the question but it would throw off sentence three
- 01:58
there Who's yet is meant to directly follow sentenced to
- 02:02
thereby creating a contrast you have to remember when you're
- 02:05
answering these kind of questions you can't change any words
- 02:07
subsequently or linkages or whatever All you can do is
- 02:10
cut and paste the sentence they're talking about You can't
- 02:13
do any carpentry around the edges We'll put in sentence
- 02:16
one before sentencing Four might confuse the reader by making
- 02:19
her think that the rich curriculum is the math science
- 02:22
and reading mentioned in sentence Three like all the things
- 02:25
that you you know actually could do to get a
- 02:28
job and pay your rent in the real world So
- 02:30
that's it Er the answer is d after sentence for 00:02:34.343 --> [endTime] we're done
