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

00:05

sure brought to you by the navy Good thing walter

00:07

didn't know karate He might have lost the top of

00:09

his head with the first salute That can happen I

00:13

check out the following passage on we're reading skimming in

00:16

hero nineteen Twenty a small fire mode Okay what's The

00:20

most effective revision to make in sentence seven and hear

00:25

the potential answers You mean all right Well so the

00:29

original sense gives us two key pieces of info Walter

00:32

received several important medals of honor during world war two

00:35

and he served in the navy from nineteen Forty one

00:38

in nineteen Forty five Awesome but there's problem here with

00:41

the order of information it makes way more sense to

00:43

say that walter was in the navy and then to

00:46

bring up the part about the medals of honor Otherwise

00:48

we're left wondering for a hot sec where walter got

00:51

the medals like magic claw machine or maybe ebay He

00:56

does the same thing as the original sense but it

00:57

tries to look cooler by using a semicolon correctly that

01:01

an emoji for winking well sorry b were not impressed

01:04

Here the order of information is the most important thing

01:08

Yeah he makes the same mistake all over again Look

01:11

seriously we need some context before we start talking about

01:14

these medals of honor If walter's mom had just given

01:17

him some medals of honor all she made from bottle

01:19

caps while that wouldn't be too impressive now what Yeah

01:22

option c finally gets the order of information right but

01:25

then it gives us some seriously long qi phrasing so

01:28

there will be no medals of honor for this Joyce

01:30

Well a's the best answer First we hear about walter

01:33

joining the navy and then we hear about those medals

01:35

of honor If we want a medal of honor well

01:38

wear a t shirt with a picture of us wearing

01:39

the medal of honor and then we probably wear the

01:41

medal of honor on top of that shirt Too much 00:01:44.206 --> [endTime] Forget it you still do it
