Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour were skimming It gives way We're skimming fast because

00:10

we're going to see it it's about eighty seven thousand

00:13

and we're just going to get to it adding which

00:15

of these sentences after sentence twenty would best improve the

00:19

transition between paragraph four and paragraph five and hear the

00:24

potential answers Okay well let's do a quick skin to

00:30

refresh ourselves on paragraph four and five Paragraph four is

00:33

all about different recycling options Paragraph five sums up the

00:37

paper and reminds us that it's our responsibility to recycle

00:40

our electronics at least it's better than some of our

00:43

other responsibilities at home We'll take recycling electronics any day

00:46

over a scrubbing tubs Anyway we're looking for the sentence

00:50

that best connects the two paragraphs Choice b is definitely

00:54

not the best bridge between him It fits fine with

00:57

paragraph four but it doesn't touch on the main topic

01:00

of paragraph five at all Which is kind of okay

01:02

because the main topic paragraph five isn't all that touchy

01:06

feely option C has the same problem It works with

01:10

paragraph four but it makes no effort to bridge us

01:13

into paragraph five which is kind of rude And then

01:16

we have choice d which has the opposite problem of

01:18

the previous two options This one does a good job

01:21

lecturing us on being responsible Electronics owners but that's totally

01:24

a paragraph five thing there's Nothing in the sense Remind

01:27

us of paragraph four Like where's the bridge option a

01:30

is the sentence that best highs to two Paragraphs together

01:34

It reminds us that we have recycling options and it

01:36

gets us ready to hear all about our responsibilities as

01:39

elektronik owners Remember with great electronics come great responsibilities Well

01:45

responsibilities come with bad elektronik too but that's kind of 00:01:48.738 --> [endTime] a deal
