12. Here is a paragraph about our morning assembly. Every Wednesday morning we have an assembly. Second, we have morning announcements. Finally, we all say The Pledge of Allegiance in unison. First, we greet our principal, Mrs. Harding.

13. This paragraph does not make any sense! Why? Every Wednesday morning we have an assembly. Second, we have morning announcements. Finally, we all say The Pledge of Allegiance in unison. First, we greet our principal, Mrs. Harding.

14. The black sentence makes sense. However, the blue, orange, and green sentences are out of order. Every Wednesday morning we have an assembly. Second, we have morning announcements. Finally we all say The Pledge of Allegiance in unison. First, we greet our principal, Mrs. Harding.

15. One solution would be to retype the paragraph. Every Wednesday morning we have an assembly. Second, we have morning announcements. Finally we all say The Pledge of Allegiance in unison. First, we greet our principal, Mrs. Harding.
