Paragraph Organization (Sub-Professional)

Paragraph Organization questions test your ability to structure ideas logically.

Sa madaling salita: Kailangan mong ayusin ang mga pangungusap para magkaroon ng tamang logic o pagkakasunod-sunod ang paragraph.

Strategy:

  1. Find the Topic Sentence: Look for the most general statement. (Hanapin ang pangungusap na nagpapakilala sa paksa.)
  2. Look for Clues: Pay attention to transition words (however, therefore, next).
  3. Find the Concluding Sentence: Summarizes the main point. (Hanapin ang pangungusap na pang-wakas.)
  4. Test the Order: Read them out loud. (Basahin nang malakas para malaman kung tama ang daloy.)
