Scrambled Paragraph Help

Yeah, a lot of people have trouble with the scrambled paragraphs. Don't dwell on them, they are worth the same as two questions, so if you spend ten minutes on one, remember, nobody is there to hurt your pride-skip it. What you want is not 100%, but to get into the school of your choice.

Tips

1. Don't try to start with the first sentence, unless it is clearly noticeable.
2. Look for pronouns. Pronouns proceed a noun.
3. Pronouns are close to the noun it represents.
4. Look for synonyms, matching words, repetition... They usually go together.
5. Look for the author's voice. Follow it.
6. Make pairs, then put them together.
7. If a last name is involved, look for the full name. That comes before it.
8. Look for 'time words.' Usually things are in chronological order. Usually.
9. Often it starts off general, then more specific, maybe examples or explanations, then back to
general.
