Find Links Using Control of Body, Money and Computers

Make sure the link between the reason, e.g. "The astronaut slept in the sleeping bag" and the main conclusion, e.g. "The space industry is a success" is found using the following three ideas.
  1. Control of Body: check that the body can perform the action.
  2. Money: check how much money the action will cost.
  3. Computers: write a short algorithm for it. For example, 1. Take the sleeping bag out of its bag. 2. Sleep in the sleeping bag. 3. Put it back in its bag.
The conclusion should be "This helped him to concentrate on the Space Industry".

Structure of a Paragraph

Each of the five paragraphs in the exposition and each of the five paragraphs in the critique should be composed of three parts, which are described as follows.
  1. Example, e.g. "The astronaut slept in the sleeping bag".
  2. Algorithm, e.g. "The astronaut took the sleeping bag out of it's bag, slept in it, then put it back into it's bag".
  3. Comment, e.g. "This helped him to concentrate on the Space Industry".
