 Does the topic sentence
make the main message
of the paragraph clear.
 Coherence
 Support the paragraph’s
main message.
 Relevant sentence
Think!

14. ANSWER
Paragraph 1 immediately creates a misleading. By contrast,
Paragraph 2 announces at the start that the main idea is
about the challenges of rural financial systems.
Paragraph 1, the sentences do not flow well. Each sentence
makes a point, but there is no explicit connection from one
point to the next.
Paragraph 2 is much more focused. The paragraph
proceeds to identify some of those challenges. All the
sentences are logically organized to support the main
idea, and connector words and transitions (“for
example”, “in addition”) are used to link the sentences.
