question:
Paragraph- Sent 1: As his car slid downtown on Tuesday morning the mind of Arnold Thorndike was occupied with such details of daily routine as the purchase of a railroad, the Japanese loan, the new wing to his art gallery, and an attack that morning, in his own newspaper, upon his pet trust.
Sent 2: But his busy mind was not too occupied to return the salutes of the traffic policemen who cleared the way for him.
Sent 3: Or, by some genius of memory, to recall the fact that it was on this morning young Spear was to be sentenced for theft.
Sent 4: It was a charming morning.
Sent 5: The spring was at full tide, and the air was sweet and clean.
Sent 6: Mr. Thorndike considered whimsically that to send a man to jail with the memory of such a morning clinging to him was adding a year to his sentence.

Sent 8: He remembered the young man now, and favorably.
Sent 9: A shy, silent youth, deft in work, and at other times conscious and embarrassed.
Sent 10: But that, on the part of a stenographer, in the presence of the Wisest Man in Wall Street, was not unnatural.
Sent 11: On occasions, Mr. Thorndike had put even royalty frayed, impecunious royalty, on the lookout for a loanat its ease.
Sent 12: The hood of the car was down, and the taste of the air, warmed by the sun, was grateful.

Sent 17: He leaned forward and touched the chauffeur's shoulder.
Sent 18: "Stop at the Court of General Sessions," he commanded.

Paragraph- Sent 1: Hundreds of thousands of years before China was to become the world's longest-running civilization, the prologue was enacted by means of the flicker of a carefully tended fire.
Sent 2: Peking Man, a forebear of Homo sapiens, achieved a mastery of fire.
Sent 3: We might call it the first Chinese invention.

Sent 5: Peking Man simply learned how to capture flame, perhaps from a forest fire, and keep it alight.
Sent 6: He thus enjoyed two revolutionary luxuries: light and heat.
Sent 7: Technologically and sociologically, it was a phenomenal breakthrough: with fire, communities could live year 'round in one cave, in which cooking and even smelting could be pursued.

Sent 15: During the second of the quasi-legendary dynasties, the Shang (from about the 16th to 11th centuries b.c.), the Chinese developed an interest in art.
Sent 16: Careful geometric designs as well as dragon and bird motifs adorned bowls and implements.
