Transcript

00:01

Okay English eh spiros were on ten of twelve making

00:05

away down the road here on technology forever changing music

00:08

industry question Which of the following would be the most

00:13

logical order of sentences in paragraph for let's go down

00:18

here All right we're going number These are here's one

00:21

In some ways the internet has empowered artists allowing them

00:24

to have more control over their careers are sent to

00:27

However the internet has made it possible for many more

00:30

people to record and promote their music so artists may

00:33

struggle to distinguish themselves from the growing competition Alright then

00:36

since three Instead of depending on record companies to record

00:41

release and promote their music artist can record their own

00:44

music release songs online and promote themselves via social media

00:48

and earn the dollar ninety eight a week that they

00:50

now earn and then sense floor In this regard artists

00:54

have benefited from a revolution in technology that has forever

00:57

changed music industry All right no one's mentioning that big

01:01

album today only gets three million sales and a big

01:04

album in nineteen eighty got like forty million and nobody

01:07

is making any money in the music biz So there

01:09

not much innovation but way wind We die grass here

01:13

So let's think about this What's the right order here

01:17

Well paragraph four discusses the ways in which artists have

01:20

benefited from changes in the music industry and also mentions

01:24

that it may be harder for artists to distinguish themselves

01:26

right so it looks like we're dealing with both pros

01:29

and cons Here's what makes the most sense to group

01:31

the benefits together before mentioning the challenges It's also our

01:35

preferred method to deliver bad news Well since one is

01:39

a good introductory sense because it introduces a general idea

01:42

of a possible benefit for artists But following sense one

01:46

with sentenced for there would be redundant repetitive kind of

01:49

saying the same thing again and again and again because

01:51

they're both speaking generally about the advantages rather than about

01:55

the specifics right then sentenced to goes into the disadvantages

01:59

so it doesn't and followed logically and well So just

02:02

gives us that the most logical order would be one

02:06

than three then four Then too the last sentence of

02:10

the whole shmoop gigi paragraph here would be However the

02:13

internet has made it possible for many more people to

02:16

record promote their music So artist makes roland distinguish themselves

02:19

blah blah blah That's the end of it So the

02:21

answer is d one three four two and yes we're 00:02:23.83 --> [endTime] shmoop
