- The purpose of the paragraph is to explain how King Tut died and what happened when his tomb was discovered.
- Fronted adverbials of cause and formal fronted adverbials are used at the start of sentences for cohesion.
- A subheading signals part of a a text and should stand out from the rest of the text.
