This is a free resource I originally created to help New York City students to prepare for one significant aspect of the SHSAT test for free, without the need for expensive tutoring. Now that the city has (perhaps wisely) eliminated the scrambled paragraphs from the SHSAT, it is a resource for anyone looking to unscramble paragraphs for whatever reason!

Some early feminists believed that the greater inclusion of women into social leadership positions could initiate a moral transformation. _____(Q) Martin Luther King Jr. exhorted African Americans to become a moral ‘thermostat’ and not a moral ‘thermometer’ in US society – integration was essential but, based on insights and humanity gained through generations of injustice, black folks should integrate as moral reformers. _____(R) Through either biology or social conditioning (who really cared?) women were clearly more humane and the world needed a strong infusion of them in positions of power. _____(S) Elizabeth Cady Stanton, for example, identified the prevailing values of a corrupt America with the gender of the men who ran it. _____(T) In fact, it may not be uncommon among folks who are oppressed to believe that they hold the key to social transformation. _____(U) Integration into what existed (merely being a thermometer) was not a viable option, integrating as reformers (becoming a thermostat) was a possible destiny for black folks in the U.S. copyright 2017 Daniel Gauss

The homeless crisis, which still plagues American cities, began in the early 1980s as a result of the conservative economic policies of President Ronald Reagan.
_____(Q) Reagan, furthermore, cut off government funding for the poor who needed help paying their rent and people were literally pushed into the streets of America in the early 1980s.
_____(R) Yet, this problem was created by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, and can only be solved by it.
_____(S) No longer encouraged or held accountable by the government, housing developers stopped creating low-income housing units (opting for more lucrative projects).
_____(T) For various reasons, as the number of these units dropped the number of poor folks rose.
_____(U) No president since Reagan has attempted to fix this problem and in the last presidential election there were no discussions concerning homelessness in America. copyright 2017 Daniel Gauss
Minhwa is
a traditional Korean art form. _____(Q) These
are insights that would never have been publicly promulgated through the media
of the dominant culture. _____(R) Minhwa
is basically, therefore, the raw, insightful and passionate ‘real’ people (magpies)attacking the
established and respected hacks (tigers) in power who control things through
connections, quid pro quo arrangements and whatever other forms of shadiness
they can think of to try to seem relevant and important. _____ (S) Minhwa
has represented the experiences and desires of the common people, revealing
insights only the people could know about life and society. _____ (T) Therefore
the tigers aren’t really tigers in Minhwa, they are buffoons just as the
aristocracy and power-brokers were, or have been, overwhelmingly, buffoons. _____(U) Because
it is from the relatively powerless common people, there is often sarcasm and
humor in Minhwa, and perhaps some secret social symbolism and criticism, as
with magpies mocking vicious and powerful tigers who suddenly look stupid and
ridiculous.

While over one million
people starved to death in Ireland from 1845 – 1850, boatloads of grain
regularly arrived from Ireland, through the port of Liverpool, to feed the
citizens of England. _____ (Q) The Irish people
had been colonized by the English and most Irish worked for various wealthy
(mostly English) landlords. _____ (R) Thus, the tenant
farmers who were dependent on the potato starved while the wealthy landowners
reaped tremendous profits from the Irish grain they exported. _____ (S) These landlords never
even considered stopping the transport of food from Ireland to England so that
the Irish themselves might be saved while the potato crop was decimated by a
fungus. _____ (T) Yet, a famine is
when there is no food – there was an overabundance of food…the Irish just
weren’t allowed to eat it. _____ (U) This was free
market capitalism at its most transparently inhumane, but it has come down to
us through history whitewashed as the potato ‘famine’. Copyright: Daniel Gauss 2015

Why do animals grieve and why do we see grief in
different species of animals?
_____(Q) Whatever its value, grief is the price of commitment, that wellspring of both happiness and sorrow.
_____(R) It's been suggested that grief reactions may allow for
the reshuffling of status relationships, the filling of a reproductive vacancy
left by the deceased, or for fostering continuity of the group.
_____(S) Whatever the reasons, it's likely that grief evolved to serve different functions in different species.
_____(T) Some further theorize that perhaps mourning strengthens
social bonds among the survivors who band together to pay their last respects.
_____(U) This may enhance group cohesion at a time when it's
likely to be weakened.
On January 14, 1967, counterculture leaders called for a “human be-in” in San Francisco, California.
_____(Q) The Summer of Love boasted music festivals, poetry readings, speeches, and even theater.
_____(R) Thousands of people answered the call, gathering in Golden Gate Park to promote peace, happiness, and love.
_____(S) For the most part, the Summer of Love proved successful in its ability to spread the counterculture message, but by the fall of 1967, increased incidents of crime and drug abuse by hippies gathered in Haight-Ashbury signaled a change in the movement.
_____(T) The Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco quickly became the gathering place and home for many displaced youth who came to celebrate the counterculture event.
_____(U) During the spring, more disillusioned youth traveled to San Francisco upon hearing a declaration that the summer of 1967 would be the “Summer of Love.” http://www.coldwar.org/articles/60s/summeroflove.asp

Bubble wrap was
originally designed to be used as wallpaper.
_____ (Q) However, this wallpaper idea didn’t sell too well.
_____ (R) The two were not, however, trying to make a product to be used as packaging material.
_____ (S) It was invented by two
engineers: Al Fielding and Swiss inventor Marc Chavannes, in Hawthorne, N.J. in
1957.
_____ (T) They started out by
sealing two shower curtains together in such a way that it would capture air
bubbles which would make the textured appearance for their wallpaper.
_____ (U) Rather, they were trying to create a textured wallpaper.
The Japanese art of Ukiyo-e developed in the city of Edo
(now Tokyo) during the Tokugawa or Edo Period (1615-1868).
_____ (Q) Thus, with their political power effectively removed, the
merchant class turned to art and culture as arenas in which they could
participate on an equal basis with the elite upper classes (warriors, farmers,
and artisans).
_____ (R) Although the cultural status of Ukiyo-e was initially considered "low" art, by and for the non-elite classes, its artistic and technical caliber is consistently remarkable.
_____ (S) It was, indeed, the collaboration among the merchants, artists,
publishers, and townspeople of Edo that gave Ukiyo-e its unique voice.
_____ (T) The social hierarchy of the day, officially established by shogun rulers, placed the merchants, the wealthiest segment of the population, at the lower end of the scale.
_____ (U) In turn, Ukiyo-e provided these groups with a means of
attaining cultural status outside the sanctioned realms of shogunate, temple,
and court.
Recently more research has focused on the relationship
between color and psychological functioning.
_____ (Q) Two further experiments establish the link between red and
avoidance motivation as indicated by behavioral (i.e., task choice) and
psychophysiological (i.e., cortical activation) measures.
_____ (R) Four experiments, in fact, demonstrate that the brief
perception of red prior to an important test (e.g., an IQ test) impairs
performance, and this effect appears to take place outside of participants'
conscious awareness.
_____ (S) Red impairs performance on achievement tasks, because red is
associated with the danger of failure in achievement contexts and evokes
avoidance motivation.
_____ (T) All of these findings suggest that care must be taken in how
red is used in achievement contexts and illustrate how color can act as a
subtle environmental cue that has important influences on behavior.
_____ (U) Indeed, startling findings occurred in regard to the relationship
between red and performance attainment.

Answers are below the exercises: This first scrambled paragraph is pretty difficult, but you can try it anyway. Part of the key to unscrambling it is in determining when "coliform" should first be mentioned. As a clue, (T) will be your 3rd out of 5 choices. Water pollution caused by fecal contamination is a serious problem due to the potential for contracting diseases from pathogens (disease causing organisms). ______ (Q) Coliforms are relatively easy to identify, are usually present in larger numbers than more dangerous pathogens, and respond to the environment, wastewater treatment, and water treatment similarly to many pathogens. ______ (R) Frequently, concentrations of pathogens from fecal contamination are small, and the number of different possible pathogens is large, so it is not practical to test for pathogens in every water sample collected. ______ (S) As a result, testing for coliform bacteria can be a reasonable indication of whether other pathogenic bacteria are present. ______ (T) Coliforms come from the same sources as pathogenic organisms. ______ (U) Instead, the presence of pathogens is determined with indirect evidence by testing for an "indicator" organism such as coliform bacteria. Taken from: http://www.health.ny.gov/environmental/water/drinking/coliform_bacteria.htm Our earliest extant source and the only one who can claim to have known Socrates in his early years is the playwright Aristophanes. ______ (Q) In the play, the character Socrates heads a Think-o-Rama in which young men study the natural world, from insects to stars. ______ (R) The actor wearing the mask of Socrates also makes fun of the traditional gods of Athens and gives naturalistic explanations of phenomena Athenians viewed as divinely directed. ______ (S) These young men also study slick argumentative techniques, lacking all respect for the Athenian sense of propriety. ______ (T) Worst of all, he teaches dishonest techniques for avoiding repayment of debt and encourages young men to beat their parents into submission. ______ (U) His comedy, Clouds, was produced in 423 when the other two writers of our extant sources, Xenophon and Plato, were infants.

I'm very proud of this scrambled paragraph blog. It seems to have become the most popular resource for scrambled paragraphs on the internet. Thank you for using it and I truly hope it helps you! Answers for the scrambled paragraphs are below the exercises:
During the eighteenth century, the market in Europe and America for tea, a new drink in the West, expanded greatly. _____ (Q) To remedy the situation, the foreigners developed a third-party trade, exchanging their merchandise in India and Southeast Asia for raw materials and semi-processed goods, which found a ready market in Guangzhou. _____ (R) But China, still in its preindustrial stage, wanted little that the West had to offer, causing the Westerners, mostly British, to incur an unfavorable balance of trade. _____ (S) By the early nineteenth century, raw cotton and opium from India had become the staple British imports into China, in spite of the fact that opium was prohibited entry by imperial decree. _____ (T) The opium traffic was made possible through the connivance of profit-seeking merchants and a corrupt bureaucracy.
_____ (U) Additionally, there was a continuing demand for Chinese silk and porcelain.
In 1802 Heinrich Olbers theorized that the asteroid belt was formed by an ancient planet exploding. _____ (Q) The large amount of energy that would have been required to destroy a planet, combined with the belt’s low combined mass tends to destroy that theory. _____ (R) This planet either suffered an internal explosion or a cometary impact many million years ago. _____ (S) Today it is believed that the planets were formed by a process of accretion and the asteroid belt are just pieces that have never joined a planet. _____ (T) It is believed that they were formed by the same process of accretion. _____ (U) The larger asteroids are on the verge of being classified as dwarf planets.
Marshall graduated first in his class from the Howard University School of Law in 1933. _____ (Q) Early in his career, as a young lawyer, he fought the State of Maryland for equal pay for black schoolteachers who were receiving the same salary as janitors. _____ (R) He argued many successful cases before the U.S. Supreme Court (wining 29 of 32 cases), including Smith v. Allwright in 1944, Shelly v. Kraemer in 1948, Sweatt v. Painter in 1950, and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents in 1950.
_____ (S) Then, at the age of 32, Marshall won his first U.S. Supreme Court Case, Chambers v. Florida, and later that year, he was named chief counsel for the NAACP. _____ (T) By 1936, he established a private practice in Baltimore where he began working with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). _____ (U) But, it wasn’t until 1954, when he argued Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, in which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the “Separate but Equal” doctrine, thus ending legalized segregation of education institutions.
Do the Neanderthal burials that have been discovered indicate a
pre-human religion?
______ (Q) One Neanderthal was found lying on his right
side with his head resting on his folded hands at a burial site in Le Moustier,
France.
______ (R) There have been many Neanderthal burial sites found
across the world and it has been an accepted fact that Neanderthals buried
their dead.
______ (S) Such a position hints to some that the Neanderthals
were concerned with his comfort in the afterlife; Yoel Rak, a paleoanthropologist
stated, “I doubt they were buried just because they smelled.”
______ (T) On the other hand, many people believe that they buried
their dead because they had religious beliefs.
______ (U) However, some people believe that they buried their dead
just because they didn’t want animals to eat the carcass or so that they did
not have to view the decaying body.
______ (Q) This includes the use of insecticide-treated mosquito
netting and spraying indoor walls with insecticide.
______ (R) Explain to your doctor exactly where you're going: the
drugs you're prescribed depend on the level of drug resistance within your area
of travel.
______ (S) Two or three months before traveling to an area where
malaria is prevalent, talk to your doctor or a tropical disease specialist or
visit a travel health clinic to obtain the necessary medications to prevent
malaria and to receive travel-related vaccines and information.
______ (T) Beyond the physical means of prevention, most drugs
used to treat malaria are also used to prevent it.
______ (U) In countries where the disease is endemic,
prevention involves keeping mosquitoes away from humans.
______ (Q) Generally, it has been thought that bees
"balled" strange or introduced queens because the foreign queens did
not have the proper "colony" odor.
______ (R) To do this, 15 or 20 worker bees collect about her in a
tight ball until she starves.
______ (S) More frequently, they will kill a newly introduced or
virgin queen.
______ (T) Even if the ball is broken up, the queen seldom
survives and the stimulus is powerful enough that the bees taking part in the
queen balling are sometimes subsequently balled by other bees.
______ (U) The reason for balling is probably more complicated
that that, because bees occasionally will ball their own queen.
One of Einstein's great insights was to realize that matter and
energy are really different forms of the same thing.
______ (Q) Matter can be turned into energy, and energy
into matter.
______ (R) Einstein's formula tells us the amount of energy this
mass would be equivalent to, if it were all suddenly turned into energy.
______ (S) This is an incredible amount of energy because one
Joule is about the energy released when you drop a textbook to the floor: so
the amount of energy in 30 grams of hydrogen atoms is equivalent to burning
hundreds of thousands of gallons of gasoline!
______ (T) It says that to find the energy, you multiply the mass
by the square of the speed of light, this number being 300,000,000 meters per
second (a very large number): 0.111 x 300,000,000 x 300,000,000 =
10,000,000,000,000,000 Joules.
______ (U) For example, consider that in one kilogram of pure
water, the mass of hydrogen atoms amounts to just slightly more than 111 grams,
or 0.111 kg.
On November 3, 1957, the U.S.S.R. stunned the world with a space
sensation - the launch of Sputnik 2 with a live dog on-board.
______
(Q) Recently, several Russian sources revealed that Laika survived in orbit for
four days and then died when the cabin overheated.
______ (R) Years after Sputnik 2 burned up in the atmosphere,
conflicting scenarios of Laika's death were circulating in the West.
______ (S) The Soviet press boasted about the 250-pound object
equipped with a cabin, providing all the necessary life support for a dog named
Laika.
______ (T) But many details of what happened to the
mission have only recently been revealed.
______ (U) However, the Soviets admitted soon after the launch
that the spacecraft would not return, meaning that the animal was doomed from
the start.
Some studies suggest that at least some bird species have evolved
mental skills similar to those found in humans and apes.
______ (Q) When such mirror-induced behavior in the magpie, a
songbird species from the crow family, was examined some individuals behaved in
front of the mirror similarly to apes.
______ (R) It is, however, not yet clear whether these skills are
accompanied by an understanding of the self.
______ (S) This is indicated by feats such as tool use,
episodic-like memory, and the ability to use one's own experience in predicting
the behavior of members of one’s own species.
______ (T) For example, when they noticed a color mark on their
bodies, magpies tried to remove the mark.
______ (U) In apes, behavior in response to a mirror, in which the
ape clearly recognizes himself, has been taken as evidence of self-recognition.
The lotus (Sanskrit and Tibetan padma), because of it’s conditions
and growth, is one of the most poignant representations of Buddhist teaching.
______ (Q) This pattern of growth symbolizes the progress of the
soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience,
and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment.
______ (R) According to another scholar, "In esoteric
Buddhism the heart of a being is like an unopened lotus: when the virtues of
the Buddha develop therein, the lotus blossoms; that is why the Buddha sits on
a lotus bloom."
______ (S) Though there are other water plants that also bloom
above the water, it is only the lotus which, owing to the strength of its stem,
regularly rises eight to twelve inches above the surface.
______ (T) Realizing the unique circumstances of the flower and
its differences from others,Lalitavistara states, "The spirit of the best of people is
spotless, like the lotus in the muddy water which has not become muddy."
______ (U) The roots of a lotus are, after all, in the mud, the
stem growing through the water, the heavily scented flower lying pristinely
above the water, basking in the sunlight.
On April 21, 1918 Baron von Richthofen followed the Sopwith Camel
of Wilfred May far into British territory.
______ (Q) Manfred von Richthofen crashed into a field alongside
the road from Corbie to Bray, his body was recovered by British forces, and he
was buried with full military honors.
______ (R) He did this even though the thrill of the hunt was all
but gone for Richthofen, as most of his peers had already been killed and his
own wounds agonized him.
______ (S) The shot is commonly believed to have come from
Australian gunners on the ground, but might have also come from the guns of
Canadian flier Arthur "Roy" Brown who was coming to May's aid.
______ (T) Though he had written that it was undignified to chase
an enemy who had fled, he chased his British quarry far deep into enemy
territory and far lower to the ground than was prudent.
______ (U) May later said that it was only his erratic, untrained
piloting which saved him and as Richthofen followed the erratic path of the novice
pilot, a single bullet, shot from behind him, passed diagonally through his
chest.
In an analysis almost 147 years after his death, doctors believe
that writer Edgar Allan Poe died as a result of rabies, not from complications
of alcoholism.
______ (Q) Poe's medical case was reviewed by R. Michael
Benitez, M.D., a cardiologist at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
______
(R) At first he had tremors and hallucinations, then slipped into a coma, emerged
from the coma, was calm and lucid, but then lapsed again into a delirious
state, became combative, and required restraint, finally dying on his fourth
day in the hospital.
______ (S) "No one can say conclusively that Poe died of
rabies, since there was no autopsy after his death," says Dr. Benitez, who
is also an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School
of Medicine.
______ (T) "But the historical accounts of Poe's condition in
the hospital a few days before his death point to a strong possibility that he
had rabies.”
______ (U) Poe was discovered lying unconscious on September
28outside a saloon on Lombard St. in
Baltimore, before being taken to Washington College Hospital.
______ (Q) This sense of cohesion is further enforced by the
elaborate communication system that elephants use.
______ (R) Afterwards young females are socialized into the
matriarchal network while young males go off for a time into an all-male social
group before coming back into the fold as mature adults.
______ (S) When communicating over long distances — in
order to pass along news about threats, a change of plans or, of the utmost
importance to elephants, the death of a community member — they use patterns of
subsonic vibrations that are felt as far as several miles away by sensors in
the padding of their feet.
______ (T) For example, young elephants stay within 15 feet of
their mothers for nearly all of their first eight years of life.
______ (U) They employ a range of vocalizations, from
low-frequency rumbles to higher-pitched screams and trumpets, along with a
variety of visual signals, from the waving of their trunks to subtle anglings of
the head, body, feet and tail.
In the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended
on October 31, and this holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New
year.
______ (Q) So on the night of October 31, villagers would
extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable.
______ (R) Naturally, the still-living did not want to be
possessed.
______ (S) One story says that, on that day, the disembodied
spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back
in search of living bodies to possess for the next year.
______ (T) It was believed to be their only hope for the
afterlife.
______ (U) They would then dress up in all manner of
ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as
destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to
possess.
Michael Peter Fay, an American teenager visiting Singapore in
1991, plead guilty to vandalism charges, and was sentenced to four months in
jail, a $2,200 fine - and four strokes of the cane.
______ (Q) A prison official, a medical officer and the caner were
the only ones present, as the caner wound up and, using his full body weight,
struck with the 13mm-thick rattan rod, which had been soaked overnight to
prevent it from splitting.
______ (R) This sentence raised concerns about corporal punishment
around the civilized world, especially in light of how the punishment was
administrated.
______ (S) News of this ritual angered many in the USA, who,
although not opposed to punishment, are opposed to what they feel is harsh,
physical punishment.
______ (T) After the fourth and final stroke, say Singapore
officials, Fay shook hands with his caner and insisted on walking back to his
cell unaided because he “...wanted to act like a man.”
______ (U) In the caning room Fay was stripped naked, bent over
and his arms and legs were fastened to an H-shaped trestle by straps while a
protective covering was placed over his kidneys.
Finger-like divisions found in the fins of an ancient fish that
lived around 385 million years ago have been hailed by Swedish scientists as the
possible origin of human hands and fingers.
______ (Q) But this study has revealed that they were already
developing when our ancestors were fish.
______ (R) “Our study proves that fingers are not new to tetrapods
but that they evolved from distal radials, structures present in fish
ancestors.”
______ (S) “It’s an important piece of evidence for the evolution
of fish to tetrapods and how ‘we’ also transformed from fish to land animals.”
______ (T) It had been concluded that digits only developed after
our ancestors made the jump from sea to land 380 million years ago.
______ (U) “For a long time, we thought that fingers were a
novelty for tetrapods; in the past two years, some evidence has come forward to
make us doubt this,” said Catherine Boisvert, lead scientist.
How great was Ferenc Puskas? Such things, necessarily, are
subjective - and, particularly when you're going on video footage, almost
impossible to judge - but for me he stands alongside Johan Cruyff as one of the
two greatest European soccer players of all time.
______ (Q) "If a good player has the ball, he should have the
vision to spot three team mates or options," the full-back Jeno Buzanszky
said; "Puskas always saw at least five."
______ (R) It is not even the fact that he had key parts in two of
the most celebrated games ever played on British soil - Hungary's 6-3 victory
over England at Wembley in 1953 and Real Madrid's 7-3 victory over Eintracht
Frankfurt in 1960.
______ (S) That is why his nickname, the 'Galloping Major', was so
appropriate - even if he hardly galloped and, at the time it was bestowed, was
only a lieutenant - because he was so good at marshalling his side towards a common
goal.
______ (T) It is the fact that that ability was allied to a brain
that understood how best to use his ability for the team.
______ (U) It was not just his technical ability because other
players have had that.
The first successful dirigible (a balloon that has engines to
control its horizontal movement) was built in France in 1852.
______ (Q) Although other countries built these types of airships,
the Germans quickly became the most advanced in this form of lighter-than-air
technology.
______ (R) The type of airships Zeppelin built were spindle-shaped
with a rigid internal steel structure (unlike the flexible bodied blimps common
today).
______ (S) Beneath the craft was a gondola which carried the crew
and passengers.
______ (T) Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, a German
businessman, built a fleet of experimental dirigibles.
______ (U) Inside the craft were large bags filled with gas that
gave the ship its lift as well as catwalks to allow the crew to move back and
forth inside the hull to service the airship.
One day in 1942, copies of a leaflet entitled "The White
Rose" suddenly appeared at the University of Munich.
______ (Q) The leaflet caused a tremendous stir among the student
body because it was the first time that internal dissent against the Nazi
regime had surfaced in Germany.
______ (R) At the bottom of the essay, the following request
appeared: "Please make as many copies of this leaflet as you can and
distribute them."
______ (S) The essay had been secretly written and distributed by
Hans Scholl and his friends and another leaflet appeared soon afterward, and
then another, and another.
______ (T) The leaflet contained an anonymous essay that said that
the Nazi system had slowly imprisoned the German people and was now destroying
them.
______ (U) The Nazi regime had turned evil and it was time, the
essay said, for Germans to rise up and resist the tyranny of their own
government.
The young people of the White Rose Organization were remarkable. Please read more about them. In fact, here's a full-length movie about Sophie Scholl of the White Rose Organization.
