Read the excerpt from "How the Internet and Other Technologies Came About."Because most cities would no longer exist, messages would have to be broken up into pieces, scattered throughout the system, moved around cities that no longer existed, and then reassembled at the destination.

continuing to read and hope it makes sense later

rewriting each line by hand
Explanation
The excerpt describes several steps in one long sentence: messages are broken into pieces, moved through the system, and reassembled. Breaking the sentence into shorter phrases makes each step easier to follow and shows how the ideas connect. So the most helpful strategy is breaking it up into shorter sentences and phrases.
