Transitions and flow
Make the relationship between sentences explicit. Use a transition that fits the logic: a contrast, consequence, example, or addition. A transition cannot repair a missing explanation.
Practice
Write a short label beside each paragraph describing its purpose. Reorder paragraphs if needed, then revise the first sentence of each to connect with the preceding idea. Remove transitions that imply a causal connection your evidence does not establish.
