Hi need a paragraph done with 8-10 sentences.

In this discussion board, we will focus on Pronoun/Antecedent Agreement, Pronoun Shifts, and correct Pronoun Forms while we review verbs discussed in our previous module. Also, conveying logic is very important. Our writing sounds more logical, clearer, and more professional when we use pronouns correctly; for example, we should not fill up our writing with unclear “it” or “this” references, or our reader will lose track of points made in our argument. This discussion board theme will be the Shaker community of the 1800s that perhaps exemplified structure and order through its simple, austere furniture design that can still be found in furniture stores today and even the members’ unusual but structured dance routines that they performed during religious ceremonies.

First, read this web article for more information about the Shaker community: http://www.shakers.org/education/the-shakers/Next, compare your answers to the following key: Shaker Community Key.docx Shaker Community Key.docx – Alternative Formats

Afterward, write one paragraph of approximately eight to ten sentences evaluating the reasons that people at that time may have been drawn to this type of community (also evaluate the reasons that this community did not survive). Focus on using correct pronoun/antecedent agreement and correct pronoun forms. For example, if you use the subject “everybody” (singular) and will be using a pronoun to refer to “everybody,” be sure to use “he or she” (singular) instead of “they” (plural). Also, try to avoid shifting unnecessarily to second-person “you” (keep the paragraph in third-person).
