Thank you We sneak in man here's yours from up

00:05

to sure brought to you by hardened criminals Maybe they'd

00:08

softened up if they were using the right lotion You

00:11

think about that all right you're falling passage from jordan

00:14

Are buddy prisoners the vote kind of reparation After you

00:26

All right which of these senses could potentially be used

00:29

to start a new paragraph and your potential and start

00:35

all right Well the main thing to think about here

00:37

is that a paragraph needs to be somehow united in

00:39

terms of its topic if it doesn't riff on the

00:42

same basic idea or if it suddenly ends for no

00:45

reason Well things become hard to understand and if things

00:48

become hard to understand our readers say and move on

00:52

ready to top option a definitely won't work sentence twenty

00:56

four directly continues the thought from the sense before it

00:59

so it would be the height of insanity to put

01:01

a paragraph break between the two there Well we can

think of a few things that are more insane like

01:06

01:08

still option a is pretty crazy Choi si isn't going

01:11

to get our vote either Sentence twenty five begins the

01:14

topic of disenfranchised minorities and sentenced twenty six continues thie

01:18

idea well why would we want to stop a paragraph

01:21

We've just introduced a new idea way would correct answer

01:26

is b way we're going to split paragraph seven cents

01:29

Twenty five would be the most logical place since it's

01:32

the first to talk about how minorities air affected by

01:34

disenfranchised Oh we almost forgot Since we have a correct

01:38

answer we can obviously ignore option d which thinks all

01:41

the other answers were wrong Some of these often that's 00:01:46.598 --> [endTime] it
