game a little bit more and i don't know All
- 00:24
right We're done scheming to make this paragraph most logical
- 00:28
sentenced three should be placed where and here the potential
- 00:31
answers right We'll tell you where you can put sentence
- 00:36
three all right that was uncalled for Let's be civil
- 00:38
about this people So we've got a sense indicated by
- 00:41
the three in brackets and this question wants to know
- 00:44
where it makes the most sense So let's put on
- 00:46
our lodger cat it's right over there next to the
- 00:48
pink and white sombrero reward last including my own and
- 00:52
see if we can sort things out There we go
- 00:54
it'll help to re read the entire paragraph in the
- 00:56
questions So let's do that and it's a long one
- 00:59
so we'll just let you scam for sex So here
- 01:01
It is any president ever four americans on tomorrow panel
- 01:09
forever calling dr german army held your ground and take
- 01:12
your place all right groovy today says that we can
- 01:18
leave sentence three alone but can only while the sentence
- 01:21
starts with the word Moreover which tends to come on
- 01:24
the heels of a related subject and generally add something
- 01:27
on top of whatever came directly before it Like his
- 01:31
genes which had not been washed in a month We're
- 01:34
beginning to stink mightily or over a family of raccoons
- 01:38
Islands have begun to gather in his bedroom window With
- 01:41
that in mind to send three makes sense where it
- 01:43
is no not really it doesn't fit right after sense
- 01:47
to where it was just mentioned that contemporary native americans
- 01:50
consider these places shrines then sentence three comes in and
- 01:54
says moreover many flannels represent a sacred space to some
- 01:58
tribes Awkward thence to is more a clarification or elaboration
- 02:03
of sentence three than the other way around Bob can
- 02:06
rock on out of here What about before sentence one
- 02:10
this'd throw things totally out of whack The moreover has
- 02:13
to be in response to the idea that it's heartbreaking
- 02:17
That these priceless gems are being destroyed because it has
- 02:20
to be more over something so no we're not going
- 02:24
to take the bait here Does he have it right
- 02:26
Should it be moved to the very end of paragraph
- 02:29
No it might work to lead into the docks quote
- 02:32
but putting it afterward is redundant competitive saying the same
- 02:35
thing again and again All right While redundancy might be
- 02:38
great one studying flash cards in the middle of a
- 02:41
piece of writing and not so much all right these
- 02:44
out the correct answer is c It should be moved
- 02:46
before sends to that way It adds to the idea
- 02:49
that the desecration of rock art is heartbreaking not only
- 02:52
because we're losing precious works of art with a ton
- 02:54
of historical value but also because they hold the religious
- 02:58
significance of some native american tribes now that's the way
- 03:01
they use Moreover all right it's back to counting sheep
- 03:05
for us Whoever came up with that technique well it 00:03:08.048 --> [endTime] was sheer genius
