In a sample essay for this lesson, we read, “Add those two together and then think about the health benefits that accrue to all pet owners and you’ll realize an amazing thing: Adopting a shelter animal can improve your quality of life in surprising and delightful ways.” In which of the five paragraphs would you find these lines?
A. Introduction
B. Body paragraph 1
C. Conclusion
D. Body paragraph 3
To find the lines that you mentioned, you would need to locate the paragraph where the information about the health benefits of adopting shelter animals is discussed. You can do this by reading the essay and looking for key words or phrases that would indicate a discussion about the health benefits.
Start by scanning the introductory paragraph (Option A), but since the lines you mentioned specifically refer to health benefits, it is unlikely that they would be included in the introduction.
Next, move on to body paragraphs. You mentioned two options which are Body Paragraph 1 (Option B) and Body Paragraph 3 (Option D).
Read through both paragraphs carefully, paying attention to any information related to health benefits. Look for sentences or phrases that mention "health benefits," "improving quality of life," or any other relevant keywords.
Compare the content of each paragraph to the lines you mentioned in your question: "Add those two together and then think about the health benefits that accrue to all pet owners and you’ll realize an amazing thing: Adopting a shelter animal can improve your quality of life in surprising and delightful ways."
Based on your comparison, you will be able to determine whether the lines are present in Body Paragraph 1 or Body Paragraph 3.
