HÃY LÀM THEO CÁC BƯỚC
1) Look to the title The title of this passage tells us it’s about the work that transportation planners do.
2) What is the paragraph doing and what is each sentence doing? The topic sentence of the paragraph restates the main idea, and introduces the idea that planners work with folks in the community. Sentence 2 has a problem with it – the “Next” is weird because nothing happened “first” before it – but it is providing a supporting example of the collaboration mentioned in Sentence 1. Sentence 3 is about the benefits of walking. Sentence 4 talks about another form of private-public partnership.
3) What is the sentence doing? It’s talking about how walking is healthy.
4) Is that relevant or does it blur the focus of the paragraph? It’s interesting, but it’s kind of a random detail.The answer is C. It should be deleted because the sentence presents extra info that is unnecessary and disrupts the flow of the paragraph, which is a series of sentences providing examples of the kinds of partnership mentioned in the topic sentence.
