Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: Allan sat down at his desk and pulled the chair in close.
Sent 2: Opening a side drawer, he took out a piece of paper and his inkpot.
Sent 3: After filling his pen, Allan looked at his paper in the orange glow from the lantern set back in the desk's right-hand corner.
Sent 4: His pen cast a forbidding line of shadow slanting across the page, echoing the inky darkness crouching in the edges of the lantern's struggling glow.
Sent 5: The only other illumination came from a lurid moonlight filtered through thin branches and clouds, casting its bone-pale glow onto the pine floorboards.
Sent 6: Allan unfolded another page, this one crowded with ranks of letters in tight formation from left to right.
Sent 7: The lines of letters stepped into their divisions, in the shape of a story's outline: the loose, dry skeleton of a tale lay exposed beneath their feet, awaiting tendons, muscle and blushing skin.
Sent 8: Allan reviewed the troops, all prepared to disembark, their task to form the tale of a young man returning home from Life Abroad to find his childhood friend a bride to-be, thus upsetting the apple cart of his life's plan, clarified of course by his very time away from her he loved best.
Sent 9: Although the concept was a simple one, Allan thought it had potential.
Sent 10: Besides, the public liked a good, simple romance.
Sent 11: Perhaps this will be more saleable, he thought and began to write.
Sent 12: They gazed at each other, lost in the rapture of love based so deeply within their hearts that they had never seen it before.
Sent 13: "What about Roger?"Sent 14: she asked, knowing that the answer no longer mattered.
Question: What steps did Allan take before writing?.

Answer: Sat at desk and filled his pen with ink.

Question: Paragraph- Sent 1: The inhabited history of the Las Vegas Valley stretches to 23,000 b.c.
Sent 2: , when much of the area was covered by a prehistoric lake.
Sent 3: During this period, the indigenous people lived in caves, hunting the mammals that gathered at the shoreline.
Sent 4: The landscape of the valley changed dramatically over the next 200 centuries.
Sent 5: The glaciers feeding the lake melted away and the lake evaporated.
Sent 6: Fossils tell an obscure story of man's slow and sporadic development.
Sent 7: Around 3000 b.c.
Sent 8: , native Archaic Indians began to develop a lasting hunting and gathering culture.
Sent 9: By this time, the valley was in much the same geographic state as it exists in today, with one exceptionthe presence of artesian springs that bubbled to the surface in several areas.
Sent 10: These springs fed a network of streams draining through the Las Vegas Wash to the Colorado River.
Sent 11: The areas surrounding the springs were desert oases: sprawling collections of grasses, trees, and wildlife.
Sent 12: Many springs lay in areas that would eventually become the center of the modern Las Vegas metropolis.
Sent 13: For about 4000 years, the Archaics thrived in a culture that included many signs of early civilization.
Sent 14: Signs of even more advancement appeared halfway through the first millennium a.d.
Sent 15: , when the Anasazi Indians inhabited the valley.
Sent 16: Far more progressive than the Archaics, the Anasazi utilized such formal agricultural techniques as irrigation to assist their harvest.
Sent 17: This permitted the Anasazi to achieve a benchmark of advanced societythe ability to live in permanent shelters year-round without need to follow wildlife.
Sent 18: Mysteriously, the Anasazi vanished from the valley around a.d.
Question: Where did the indigenous people of Las Vegas hunted?.

Answer: By the shoreline of the lake.

Sent 4: The trained nurse turns on the light, lifts the baby, hushes it, sings to it, rocks it, and stills its weeping by caresses and song.
Sent 5: When next the baby is put down to sleep, more cries, more soothing and disturbance, and the setting of a tiny instinct which shall some day be will--the power of control.
Sent 6: The grandmother arrives on the scene.
Sent 7: When baby cries, she plants the little one firmly in its crib, turns down the light, pats and soothes the tiny restless hands that fight the air, watches, waits.
Sent 8: From the crib come whimpers, angry cries, yells, sobs, baby snarls and sniffles that die away in a sleepy infant growl.
Sent 9: Silence, sleep, repose, and the building of life and nerve and muscle in the quiet and the darkness.
Sent 10: The baby has been put in harmony with the laws of nature--the invigoration of fresh air, sleep, stillness--and the little one wakens and grows like a fresh, sweet rose.
Sent 11: The mother, looking on, learns of the ways of God with men.
