To place things or events in chronological order means to place them in order of time. Logical order is in accordance with reason, sound thinking. Examples: The First World War, the 21st century and the Middle Ages are not in chronological order.

A logical person uses precise language so that his listener knows exactly what he is talking about and can adequately evaluate the truth of his claims. If he refers to more complex terms such as “freedom” or “equality,” he makes sure to establish his particular understanding of those terms.

2. Chronological Order.
3. Climactic Order.
4. Random Order.

Chronological order is listing, describing, or discussing when events happened as they relate to time. Basically, it is like looking at a timeline to view what occurred first and what happened after that.

Logical division of ideas simply means that ideas are grouped together, and each group is discussed accordingly. They may be introduced in order of importance, or in some other order that makes sense to the reader. You would use transition words such as firstly, secondly, thirdly to introduce each group.

Transitions are the rhetorical tools that clarify the logic of your argument by orienting your reader as you develop ideas between sentences and paragraphs.

What are the components of good transition sentences? They make an explicit connection between ideas, sentences, and paragraphs. Good transitions use specific words. Try to avoid using pronouns like “this” to refer to an entire idea because it is not always clear who or what “this” refers to.

Avoid saying, “In conclusion”. There are other, more interesting, ways to start your conclusion. Try saying, “As the research has demonstrated.” You can also just introduce your final points by saying, “Finally…” You can also indicate that your reader is at the conclusion by saying, “To review…” or “We can see…”

Begin the second paragraph of the essay with a transition sentence that ties into the last sentence of the introduction paragraph. You can even use a “reverse hook” that references the entire thesis, bridging the two paragraphs.

The correct answer would be “your main points” or “the main points” in your case.
