on dh digested it Which of the following represents the
- 00:22
best revision to sentence six and hear the pendulum Sentence
- 00:28
six his issue is that it goes right into the
- 00:30
information about stalin without giving us a transition from the
- 00:32
material about hitler So that's just a jarring What we
- 00:36
need is a sentence that takes us from the horrors
- 00:39
of hitler to the terrors of stalin in a nice
- 00:41
and easy way Hard to imagine such a thing is
- 00:43
possible Yeah but let's give it a shot will be
- 00:46
makes an attempt to do this but the phrasing is
- 00:48
awkward and all over the place There's just got to
- 00:51
be a choice that's more straight forward than in this
- 00:53
mess right here Well option a is straightforward but it
- 00:55
makes for a really awkward transition Simply throwing the word
- 00:59
also at the beginning of the sentence isn't going to
- 01:01
smooth out this bumpy ride Well see sort of works
- 01:04
let's read it to compare hitler to stalin Joseph stalin
- 01:07
was the dictator of the ussr now russia who ruled
- 01:11
with an iron fist But the phrase to compare hitler
- 01:13
to stalin is a clunky way of transitioning anytime we
- 01:16
outright say what we're doing on a structural level or
- 01:20
calling attention to the fact that we're not going To
- 01:23
sound all that smooth would we start a new paragraph
- 01:25
by saying to begin a new paragraph No we just
- 01:29
begin a new paragraph Writing an essay is just like
- 01:31
dating and always basically smooth All right all right Choice
- 01:34
dee is the right answer It clearly transitions from hitler
- 01:37
to stalin while comparing the two dictators most famous wrongs
- 01:40
Now that's smooth the sentence structure not evil dictator stuff 00:01:45.856 --> [endTime] I kill you
