Question

The paragraphs below contain the same sentences in different order. Determine which paragraph communicates most clearly through its use of sentence order.

Paragraph 1

Jargon, applied especially to the vocabulary of a business or profession, and cant, an older term than slang, have come into relatively the same usage over the years. The word slang is derived either from the past tense of sling or from slanguage. Mario Pei, in his book The Story of Language, says that the term slang was first used in England in the middle eighteenth century. The s in slanguage is said to come from expressions such as thieves' language. English literature slang, however, goes back to the sixteenth century.

Answer 1

Yes maybe your are right

Answer 2

Answer: Paragraph 2

Explanation: I got it right on the lesson

The writer begins with the first main heading, which is developed into a topic sentence. The topic sentence is to the paragraph as the thesis statement is to the research paper. The topic sentence makes a statement about the contents of the paragraph. It, too, should be restricted, precise, and unified.

The second sentence in the paragraph is a sentence of explanation or clarification about the topic of the paragraph. The remaining sentences express further detail about the subject of the paragraph. They may contain examples, quotations, comparisons, or statistics that further explain the idea of the paragraph. The sentences within the paragraph should follow each other in a logical progression of thought. A logical progression of ideas makes understanding easy for the reader; therefore, communication is more likely to be successful.

Paragraph 2 met all of these qualifications.
