D (basic information)<br />2. B (historical context)<br />3. A (what he did)<br />4. C(effect on history)<br />But I agree with Gonzalo that C could go third, and A last, because both paragraphs include a bit about Hendrix's life and a bit about the writer's opinion.<br /><br /><a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=nota%20bene&db=luna" rel="nofollow">NB</a>: REMEMBER THIS PARAGRAPH ORGANIZATION WHEN WRITING <b> YOUR</b> BIOGRAPHY ABOUT <b>YOUR HERO</b>Gladys Bayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10637060860005714720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501146644274452024.post-45618713056202306982009-07-14T10:34:37.125-03:002009-07-14T10:34:37.125-03:00Exercise 1 and 2a:

His musical history had begun.<br /><br />2B.Historical context:<br />He started playing professionally in the 1960s. At the time, popular music was changing – a lot of new groups had arrived, but the pop scene was still old-fashioned and a bit boring. Jimi was invited to Britain to play. In 1966, he arrived in London and changed his name to Jimi Hendrix.
