Do you see any patterns?
Not really. I suppose it is mostly contrast connectors, but there are some other transitional words/phrases. I do say trout a lot because I stuck with the same example.

Do you rely on certain devices more than others?
Apparently contrast connectors mostly.

Are there any passages that are hard to follow-and if so, can you make them easier to read by trying any of the other devices discussed in this chapter?
Highlighted in yellow is where there is a hard transition to an idea that isn’t related until a few sentences later. I don’t think it’s hard to follow necessarily, but it is a bit hard. I’m not sure if any of the listed devices from the chapter would help. However, it could probably use a tune-up.
