4859 The definition of a paragraph is a block of writing comprised of at least 3 sentences. For an English as a Second Language learner, that would be maximized at 5 sentences. For native English speakers, there is no limit. In your case, you have a part in this presentation that only has 2 sentences in it. That will not be given a passing score since it does not meet the minimum sentence requirement for the paragraph. You may want to increase your sentences to 3 or 5 discussion lines to help increase your scoring potential. You did a good job in reporting and analyzing, but your sentence count will prove to be the deduction point for your score.
