2 it has very diverse geography and it has an astounding number of wildlife species
3 “First of all” and “Second”
4 two each: “For example”, “Another example”, “For instance”, and “Another place”
5 It restates the recommendation but not the reasons.
6 listing order (not time, because one reason doesn’t come before or after the other, and not space, because the reasons aren’t in specific locations)
