is achieved when

well developed when
there is a clear
statement of purpose,
position, facts,
examples, specific

text.
Cohesion is the
relationship of ideas
between sentences.
Coherence refers to how the sentences in a
paragraph follow each other reasonably -
stresses the connection of ideas at the idea
