Lab Activity 26: Relationships Within and Between Sentences

Objective
To identify transitions that show the relationships of ideas within and between sentences.

Step 2: Read the following description adapted from the Naval Archives. Then answer the questions that follow.

After delivering her top-secret cargo at Tinian, Indianapolis was dispatched to Guam, where she disembarked men. Next, she received orders to travel unescorted to Okinawa. Meanwhile, a Japanese submarine was patrolling the waters on the route to Leyte where Indianapolis would meet her demise on this mission. First, she was hit on her starboard side at 12:15 a.m., on July 30, 1945, by one torpedo. A second torpedo sealed her fate. Both torpedoes were from the submarine of the infamous Commander Machitsura Hashimoto. Finally, that morning, the ship that had seemed indestructible capsized and sank in 12 minutes. Because of communication errors, the surviving crew members who were not killed by the explosion swam helplessly in the shark-infested waters until they were sighted August 2 at 10:25 a.m. by a plane on a routine patrol. The pilot dropped a life raft and radio transmitter; immediately, air and surface units capable of rescue operations were dispatched to the scene. Eventually, a 100-mile radius search of the surrounding waters produced 316 surviving members of a crew of 1,199 men.
