You will sometimes be asked to determine what probably came before the reading passage (in the preceding paragraph) or what probably comes after the reading passage (in the following paragraph). of course, the topic of the preceding or following pragraph is not directly stated, and you must draw a conclusion to determine what is porbably in these paragraphs.
This types of question is a transition question. it asks you to demonstrate that you understand that good writing contains transitions from one paragraph to the next. A paragrph may start out with the idea of the previous paragraph as a way of linking the ideas in the two paragraphs. a paragrah may also end with an idea that will be further developed in the following paragraph.
