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

00:06

jour brought to you by electron ix But you're looking

00:09

at this on a computer so well you knew that

00:12

All right check the following passage Lina's Teacher Hidden hazards

00:15

of electronic way we're reading or skinny Fascinating No Ok

00:24

And we're done selina's thesis will be more clearly established

00:29

if she revised his sentence for teo Say what And

00:33

here the potential answers let's kick this off by taking

00:37

another deep lookit sentenced for and senses around it all

00:41

right well the original structure is in great because all

00:43

it says is that electronics create health risks big wood

00:46

What it fails to say is how or what kind

00:49

of risks they create That makes the next sense about

00:53

recycling and seem a little out of place after all

00:55

If electronics are dangerous because they might zap you recycling

00:59

won't help Maybe you'd be better investing in a rubber

01:01

suit if this is your main concern all right choice

01:04

a and b won't work for the same reason Yeah

01:07

we get it Electronics are dangerous but like why Because

01:10

they might gain self awareness and join the robot revolution

01:14

Well the reader might assume anything of salina doesn't specify

01:17

Joyce d tells us that degrading electronics are health risks

01:21

which does tie into the sense about recycle but it

01:25

sounds awkward The following sentence three next choice see is

01:29

the best answer here it links to sentence Three by

01:32

mentioning that the elektronik are for gotten and it connects

01:35

that sentence five by saying that the electron its air

01:37

left to degrade in a landfill So this version of

01:40

the sentence builds the best bridge between three and five

01:43

creating a solid main idea Now excuse us while we

01:46

go Make sure our smartphones haven't become self aware you 00:01:49.141 --> [endTime] laugh But siri has been unusually sassy lately No
