Read the following excerpt from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her organization?
When I worked on my grandparents' farm one summer, I spent a lot of time caring for animals—feeding chickens and pigs, milking cows, and grooming horses. I decided to become a vegetarian. As a vegetarian, I eat lots of fruit, vegetables, grains, and dairy products. At first, I thought it would be hard to eat enough food to feel full, but that hasn't been the case. Beans and cheese are my main sources of protein now, and they keep me full for hours. I'm so thankful that I can express my love of animals—all animals—by not eating them.

 - by making a general statement before giving specific examples
 - by adding a transition between the first two sentences
 - by reordering to keep related ideas together
The writer could best improve his or her organization by adding a transition between the first two sentences.
For example, the writer could provide a smoother transition between the first two sentences by adding text such as After realizing how much I love animals, I couldn't bear the idea of eating meat anymore.
