our house's roof made of sheets heavy limiting panini found
- 00:26
along the way Him covered patio All right that's one
- 00:30
two would be When we arrived in panama i couldn't
- 00:31
believe the heat It was like nothing i'd ever experienced
- 00:35
And rain It did Three We endured eight months of
- 00:38
heavy rains followed by four months of dry scorching heat
- 00:40
That was four and then five It was so intensely
- 00:43
human that it seemed to be raining at any moment
- 00:45
Ok that was five Let's think about this all right
- 00:49
So what would be the best starter here And it's
- 00:51
always good in these questions just like literally label him
- 00:53
So it's easy to kind of zip through him Well
- 00:56
let's see Paragraph to discuss is the author's perception of
- 00:59
the climate in panama but the sentences aren't ordered effectively
- 01:03
since paragraph starts with a detail then it back cracks
- 01:07
like the time we accidentally told grandma that maybe didn't
- 01:11
wait a second furry elves sweater for the holidays this
- 01:14
year Yeah Instead it makes the most sense to begin
- 01:17
the paragraph with when we arrived in panama Yeah that
- 01:22
would be better on that would provide context for the
- 01:24
rest of the paragraph Right So that one it eliminates
- 01:27
the answer Choice It doesn't begin with paragraph two like
- 01:29
pretty right away See since the best because it puts
- 01:33
and rain it did before eight months of heavy rain
- 01:36
Like how awkward would that be to have it the
- 01:38
other way around Right So the answer is c So
- 01:41
it goes to five three for one So your first
- 01:44
sentence then would be when we arrived in panama i
- 01:48
couldn't believe the heat It was like nothing i had
- 01:51
ever experienced Then we go to it was so intensely
- 01:55
humid that it seemed as it should be raining at
- 01:58
any moment And then we go back to three and
- 02:00
the rest got it So that's pretty smooth They're pretty
- 02:03
good to fix their editor Nice job Alright Answer is 00:02:05.756 --> [endTime] c goodbye
