Difficulty: EasySentence-Level Transitions

Monarch butterflies are famous for their long-distance migration across North America. Consequently, their fragile wings seem ill-suited for such a grueling journey.

Which choice provides the most logical transition between the two sentences?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. However,Answer
  3. C
    Furthermore,
  4. D
    For example,

Answer

The transition word 'However' correctly signals a contrast between the butterflies' long migration and their fragile wings.
The correct option correctly uses 'However' to signal a contrast between the monarch butterflies' famous migration and the fragile appearance of their wings.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the relationship between the first sentence (describing the butterflies' famous long-distance migration) and the second sentence (describing how their fragile wings seem ill-suited for such a journey).
The two sentences express contrasting ideas: one highlights an impressive physical feat, while the other points out physical fragility that makes the feat unexpected.
Identifying the logical relationship between the two ideas is necessary to choose the correct transition.
2
Evaluate the transition choices to find one that expresses contrast.
The transition 'However' is the only choice that expresses contrast. 'Consequently' shows cause-and-effect, 'Furthermore' shows addition, and 'For example' shows illustration.
Selecting the transition that matches the identified logical relationship ensures coherence and logical flow.

Key Concept

Selecting the correct sentence-level transition based on the logical relationship between two independent thoughts.
