Sequencing, Part II--March 3, 2023! (If you have not completed Sequencing from 3/1/23, please do that exercise first!)

Directions: Here are more sequencing activities, with sentences from a paragraph still listed in numerical order. 
Be sure to read carefully, looking for the connection between sentences and the transitions that provide clues as to what should go next! Have fun!
 
Example A:

1. Kyle ran a great coffee business.
2. He served many cities and states in the northeast region of the U.S.
3. These people in particular always enjoyed the latest coffee he delivered, and in turn, Kyle enjoyed visiting them when he made deliveries. 
4. This had become Kyle's favorite part of the country because of its wonderful people and changing seasons.
5. In fact, Kyle had made many friends who invited him in for a cup of his own coffee at the end of his work day.
6. Kyle could not imagine a better job and hoped his success in the coffee world would continue forever!

Would you change the order of these sentences?

a. Sentence 4 should follow Sentence 2.
b. Sentence 6 should follow Sentence 3.
c. Sentence 5 should be placed before Sentence 1.
d. Sentence 5 should be placed after Sentence 2.
e. No changes are necessary.


Let's try another:

Example B:

1. Sal and Liz, for instance, had been looking for their new home for quite some time.
2. Searching for a new house can be a long and difficult journey--especially in 2021.
3. Sal wanted a big yard, while Liz was more interested in a beautiful kitchen.
4.They had both initially thought that once they began looking, they would find the perfect home right away.
5.But Sal and Liz became discouraged when they finally made an offer that was not accepted; this caused them to begin the process all over again.
6. "Don't worry," they were told by friends, relatives, and even their new real estate agent, "when the right house comes along, you will be happy you didn't stop trying!"
7. Sal and Liz hoped this was true and that they would be moved into their new home soon so they could enjoy every beautiful month of summer!
8. Finding the right home can be difficult, but asking the right questions and remembering to be patient can make the process a rewarding experience!

Would you change the order of the sentences?

a. Sentence 7 should go before Sentence 1.
b. Sentence 6 should go after Sentence 7.
c. Sentence 4 should go before Sentence 3.
d. Sentence 2 should go before Sentence 1.
