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

00:05

jour brought to you by adolf hitler among his many

00:08

crimes is ruining a fun mustache for everyone else Yeah

00:11

you can't wear that kind of moustache anymore Ok worst

00:15

dictator we're skimming again We've read this a kazillion times

00:18

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
