00:09

you're about to fall asleep or else a sign that

00:12

you've picked a really bad fence toe fall asleep next

00:15

to alright check a passage We've read good civilian times

00:18

already so we're just going to skip limit on this

00:21

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
