Explanation for Question 14 From the Writing Section on the 2017 April Sat
Question 14 says to make this paragraph most logical sentence four should be placed 2 where, so let's take a look at sentence for the 3 sentence reads new efforts to cultivate beaver populations reflect a growing 4 recognition of the vital role beaver dams play in combating the effects of drought 5 and preserving species diversity. 6 sort of around the sentence at the context that it falls into. 7 We noticed a couple of things. Um, 8 first beavers are introduced up here in sentence three. 9 It wouldn't make sense to talk about, um, anything related to beaver populations or 10 jams before we actually introduced the subject itself. 11 Um, so we definitely don't want to move it up anymore on 12 the paragraph, 13 Sentence, number five. Meanwhile, 14 talks about how beavers actually build dams, 15 um, and what the effect is in terms of flooding the surrounding area. 16 So, because question or, 17 excuse me, sentence number four is talking about beaver dams. 18 It makes sense to include that after the discussion of how dams are built 19 and what they actually are. Um, 20 so the question really becomes, do we put this sentence before or after sentence 21 six, six says despite the seeming drawbacks to beaver dams, 22 emerging research confirms that they actually provide significant environmental benefits. 23 So that idea of question number, 24 or excuse me, sentence number six is that it is introducing this idea of 25 positive benefits to beaver dams, sentence four represents a positive 26 of Beaverdams. So we want to bring that all the way down after sentence 27 six so that it's kind of introduced, 28 there are some positives and then that following sentence explains exactly what 29 those positive impacts of Beaverdams actually are. 30 So sentence for me makes the most sense after sentence six,
