*.Sentences that begin with 'And', 'But' etc usually follow the central theme with an explanation to the same or give additional information.
*.A central Theme around which the passage is framed. Identify the central theme, which is usually the first sentence.
*.A logical sequence is present which usually describes the central theme.
