Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour Brought to you by gas guzzlers Kanye says people

00:08

who drive them our fossil foods can you she's a

00:13

really clever right She works for shmoop but you didn't

00:15

know that we're still skimming and blame big corporations When

00:20

in doubt just do that Bite the hand that feeds

00:22

your people on by smaller car bomb a block Damnation

00:28

All right Tony wants to add a sentence at the

00:31

end of the second paragraph to help conclude the paragraph

00:34

Which of the following would be the best since toe

00:37

Add and hear the potential answers All right what's going

00:40

to make that second paragraph stronger All right Well let's

00:44

review it this way We'll have a good idea of

00:46

what the end is missing Here we go The single

00:49

biggest contributing factor to air pollution is car transportation which

00:52

produces carbon dioxide Also the more we drive the more

00:57

pollution we produce plus bigger cars use more gasoline which

01:01

means more carbon dioxide There are decisions we can make

01:03

to reduce our environmental impact in our transportation For example

01:07

we can choose to live closer to where we work

01:10

Another example is that we can choose to take public

01:12

transportation like buses and trains whenever possible we can choose

01:16

to buy smaller more gas efficient cars Okay so main

01:19

problem is that the paragraph sort of randomly stops it's

01:22

like kanye stopped in the middle of her Yes he

01:26

isn't that annoying All right wilby isn't going to work

01:29

because it sets up the third paragraph without closing the

01:31

second way can't skip second base to get to third

01:34

right That kind of stuff doesn't play baseball either and

01:37

it doesn't work in essays we can nick see because

01:40

it takes the paragraph in a new direction It might

01:42

work for releasing some of tanya's pick up reed for

01:45

people who drive gas guzzlers but it doesn't do a

01:48

thing for her essay We're starting to get there with

01:50

choice d it does sort of sum the paragraph The

01:54

problem is that it's a little too General tanya needs

01:57

something more specific that directly ties in with her thesis

02:01

Answer a is just what tanya needs here It wraps

02:04

up the paragraph in connects directly to tunney's thesis about

02:06

how we can all do things that help the environment

02:09

We tried to aid the environment by helping it to

02:12

revise an essay but didn't seem all that grateful Sorry 00:02:15.073 --> [endTime] environment Just trying to do our part
