Question

Difficulty: EasyTransitions: Addition and Similarity

Complete the passage with the transition word or phrase that best shows a similarity between the two groups of animals.

Answer:Many species of bats use echolocation to navigate through dark environments and locate prey. 【Similarly】, dolphins emit high-frequency sound waves to map their underwater surroundings and find food.

Answer

Similarly (or Likewise)
The transition word 'Similarly' or 'Likewise' correctly establishes a relationship of similarity between how bats use echolocation and how dolphins use high-frequency sound waves to navigate.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences.
The first sentence explains how bats use sound to navigate, and the second sentence explains how dolphins use a similar method (sound waves) to navigate.
Identifying the connection is necessary to choose the correct category of transition.
2
Identify the type of transition required.
Since both sentences describe animals using sound waves to navigate, a transition of similarity is needed.
This narrows down the potential transition words.
3
Select an appropriate transition word that fits grammatically.
'Similarly' or 'Likewise' fits the context and starts the sentence followed by a comma.
To complete the passage logically and grammatically.

Key Concept
