Paragraph Organization Strategy (Finding the First Sentence)
Paragraph organization items ask you to arrange 4 to 5 scrambled sentences into a coherent paragraph.

Rule 1: The First Sentence is Independent

The opening sentence (Topic Sentence) NEVER starts with transition words like *However, Therefore, Consequently, Furthermore, In addition, On the other hand*.

Rule 2: Look for Pronoun Antecedents

Sentences starting with pronouns like *He, She, They, It, These, Those* must come AFTER the noun they refer to.
