Re-order Paragraphs
The boxes below are in the wrong order. Move them until the text reads as one passage. Look for the hooks that chain paragraphs together — a pronoun needs the sentence that names its owner, and words like “however” or “this” point back at what they follow. Each correctly ordered pair of neighbours earns a point.

Tips for Re-order Paragraphs
- Find the opening first: it introduces the topic and leans on nothing before it — no “this”, “however” or “he”.
- Marks come in pairs: each box placed straight after the box it really follows earns a point, so a run you are sure of scores even when the rest does not.
- Follow the links — a pronoun, a “however”, a date — back to the box they point to.
