Beyond the Answer

To determine how many different five-sentence paragraphs can be formed under the given conditions, we need to consider the positions of the remaining sentences after "He thought he saw a shape in the bushes" and before "John looked out of the window". The sentences that can fit in between are: 1. Mark had told him about the foxes. 2. Could it be a fox? 3. However, nobody had seen one for months. We have 3 different sentences to place between the first and the last sentence. This means we can arrange these 3 sentences in any order, resulting in permutations. The number of different arrangements (permutations) for 3 sentences is calculated as \(3! = 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6\). Therefore, the total number of different five-sentence paragraphs that can be formed is \( \boxed{6} \).
