Place sentences where they best support the surrounding ideas.

核心知识

A sentence belongs beside the idea it develops. The best placement makes references clear and lets the new sentence feel necessary, not dropped in.

深入理解

Rule: A sentence belongs beside the idea it develops. The best placement makes references clear and lets the new sentence feel necessary, not dropped in.

  • The sentence may introduce a problem before a solution, add context before a result, or give an example after a general statement.
  • Read the sentence before and after each possible location.
  • One spot will make the new sentence connect naturally to both sides.

分步讲解

  1. Decide whether the sentence adds context, evidence, explanation, or result.
  2. Check which nearby sentence it should connect back to.
  3. Check which sentence it should set up next.
  4. Choose the position where both connections are clear.

常见误解

  • Choosing the earliest spot by default.
  • Putting the sentence at the end because it contains new information.
  • Ignoring reference words that show what the sentence should be near.

示例解析

A student is revising a paragraph about after-school tutoring:

[1] Many students wanted to stay for extra math help after classes ended. [2] The district then added a 5:15 late bus on Tuesdays and Thursdays. [3] As a result, attendance at the tutoring sessions rose within a month.

For the sake of logic and coherence, where should the sentence "Before the late bus was added, students who relied on the regular 3:00 bus often had to leave tutoring early" be placed?
