Unity and Coherence

1) In the following paragraph, mark the transition Signals

During the early twentieth century, Australian societ

y experienced a transformation of the domestic ideal. At this time] families were subject to an increasing array of government and 'professional' programs and advice aiming to manage and regulate family life. Some of these programs were design

ed to counter social changes, others were designed to engineer them; ultimately each heralded a growing expert encroachment into the private sphere.

Intervention and influence took three forms. Firstly, techniques designed to maximize efficiency were introduced into the home and scientific principles were applied to its design. In addition, housework and parenting methods were scrutinized and subject to unprecedented standards. Secondly, all aspects of reproduction attracted increasing intervention from government and the medical profession. Thirdly, state, professional and philanthropic groups began to usurp the parental role within the family through instruction and policy. Consequently, the development of 'modern' social ideals brought regulation, intervention and ever-increasing unrealistic standards.

2) Which of the following paragraphs is more coherent and why?

a)

A difference among the world's seas and oceans is that the salinity varies in different climate zones. The Baltic Sea in northern Europe is only one quarter as saline as the Red Sea in the Middle East. There are two reasons for this. I

n warm climates, water evaporates rapidly. The concentration of salt is greater than that in cold climate zones, where water evaporates slowly. In hot areas the surrounding land is dry and does not contribute much fresh water to dilute the salty seawater. The runoff created by melting snow in cold areas adds a considerable amount of fresh water to dilute the saline seawater.

b) Another difference among the world's seas and oceans is that the salinity varies in different climate zones. Forexample, theBaltic Sea in northern Europe is only one quarter as saline as the Red Sea in the Middle East. There are two reasons for this.First of all, in warm climates, water evaporates rapidly; therefore, the concentration of salt is greater than that in cold climatezones, where water evaporates slowly.

Secondly, in hot areas the surrounding land is dry and consequently does notcontribute much fresh water to dilute the salty seawater. In contrast, the runoff created by melting snow in cold areas adds aconsiderable amount of fresh water to dilute the saline seawater.
