Thank you We sneak in on here's Your shmoop du

00:06

jour brought to you by elektronik Waste seems like a

00:09

waste of power We ask us All right check the

00:13

following passage All right wear mumbling their toxic chemicals in

00:19

a mercury died Prospected damage of marine le safe manner

00:23

recycling I mean drop up batteries Okay here we go

00:30

adding which of these after sentence eight would best improve

00:34

the transition between paragraph two and paragraph three and here

00:37

the potential answers all right Well to find the best

00:41

transition sentence we have to bridge the main ideas of

00:44

the two paragraphs So paragraph two introduces the idea that

00:48

computer waste contains hazardous chemicals in paragraph three describes that

00:54

health effects these chemicals can have Well whatever sentence we

00:57

choose has toe work like those little red flags that

01:00

tour guides hold in the air to keep the herds

01:02

from getting lost Well if we pick the right flag

01:05

they'll follow us anywhere Option d gives us a useful

01:09

comparison since most people know about the pollution from cars

01:14

and don't know about the pollution from elektronik waste this

01:17

fact can help us understand just how bad the problem

01:20

of electronic waste pollution is However this sense doesn't do

01:23

much to directly link us to the next idea is

01:26

like a well made bridge that's missing the last quarter

01:28

mile not very useful in a situation that has a

01:31

tendency to cause us we'll put it your horrible disasters

01:36

answer c doesn't work because it tells us stuff we

01:38

already know by this point paragraph two has already gone

01:40

into plenty of detail about the nasty chemicals that dead

01:43

computers releases they decomposed This may sound bad but when

01:47

the computers turn into zombies will have a whole other

01:49

problem on our hands Choice a doesn't work because there's

01:53

been no mention of animals so far suddenly focusing solely

01:56

on animals would feel like a complete left turn If

01:59

we use this sense is a transition It would be

02:01

a renaissance and looks walking through our living room on

02:04

second thought This might not be weird for alaskans but

02:07

it's weird for us The correct answer is b this

02:10

ends safely guides us from one paragraph to the next

02:12

by telling us that these evil chemicals cause danger to

02:15

both people and animals Now we're all set to hear

02:18

about the awful things that can happen to us when

02:20

computers air disposed of improperly maybe it's not the most

02:23

exciting way to spend the next twenty seconds of our

02:25

lives but we guess it's important stuff to know you 00:02:28.32 --> [endTime] know just to be on the safe side
