Four sentences, two of which could swap.
Four sentences from one paragraph arguing that free transport is affordable. Order them so each one is licensed by the one before.
Six pairs. One of them has no better order.
Which order argues better?
A. Free transport cuts car use. Fares are the main reason people drive. B. Fares are the main reason people drive. Free transport therefore cuts car use.
Three relationships, and the case where it does not matter.
Claim first, evidence second: the reader knows what the evidence is for before they read it.
Evidence first, claim second: they hold the evidence and wait.
Both are correct sentences in both orders. Only one of them does the work.
Eight pairs. Two work equally well both ways.
Traffic fell by a third. The ban is why. (paragraph is about the ban) →
Fees fund half of teaching. Universities depend on that income. →
The scheme has been copied by four cities. It was introduced in 2003. →
Buses run more often now. Fares have also been frozen. →
Rents rose faster than wages. Younger workers left the centre. →
The report was ignored. It was published in May. →
Air quality improved. Noise levels also dropped. →
Free transport cuts car use. Fares are the main reason people drive. →
Two sentences, both orders, and the relationship that decides.
Topic: working from home.
Write two sentences that belong next to each other.
Then write them in the reverse order — no word changed, just swapped.
Then name the relationship: claim and evidence, cause and effect, general and specific, or either.
Label each.
One sentence.
Name the dependency, or say there is none.
