Number 17 asks about the paragraph, or excuse me, the passage as a whole.
00:05
For the sake of logic and coherence, paragraph three should be placed somewhere.
00:10
And here we have paragraph three.
00:12
So to start evaluating this, you will need the whole context.
00:16
Start to ask yourself about the flow of ideas through the thing.
00:20
We know that the main idea of paragraph one, i've lived in new york city for my entire life.
00:24
I'm not happy to leave.
00:27
I don't want to leave my friends was a big threat.
00:30
Through this, i know my buddies and i will stay in touch.
00:34
Then paragraph two goes into, moving means leaving more than my friends.
00:39
So right now, existing between paragraphs one and two is this link that cannot be broken.
00:47
It flows really perfectly from i'm leaving new york city and also i'm very sad about it because of my friends into not only that it means leaving more than my friends.
00:58
I'll be leaving my home, i'll be leaving my neighborhood, lots of people in the neighborhood.
01:05
That's a link that we really like, which means to move it after paragraph one would break up that link, which is not what we want.
01:13
So we can get rid of that.
01:15
We could also debate leaving or bringing it before paragraph one.
01:20
So ask yourself, which is a better introductory paragraph? talking about joe, the old guy and the superintendent, or talking about leaving me.
01:28
York city.
01:30
Now, if i was going to move this at the beginning, notice how specific this information is.
01:36
It's about a specific person, a specific example, whereas paragraph one is pretty general.
01:43
As a rule, you want to begin with the general in your topic...
