Zorluk: KolaySentence-Level Transitions

Tardigrades can survive in the most extreme environments on Earth, including volcanic vents and freezing glaciers. Consequently, they are most commonly found in ordinary, damp settings like mossy bricks and garden soil.

Which choice provides the most logical transition from the preceding sentence?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. However,Cevap
  3. C
    Furthermore,
  4. D
    Thus,

Cevap

The transition 'However,' is correct because it logically signals the contrast between the extreme conditions tardigrades can survive in and the ordinary environments they usually inhabit.
The correct option is the one stating 'However,'. It correctly signals a contrast between the fact that tardigrades can survive in extreme conditions and the fact that they are most commonly found in ordinary damp environments.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the first and second sentences.
The first sentence explains that tardigrades can survive in extreme places like volcanoes and glaciers. The second sentence notes that they are actually most common in normal, wet environments like soil and moss.
Understanding the logic connecting the two thoughts is necessary to select the right transition.
2
Determine the type of transition required.
Since there is a conflict/contrast between their extreme survival abilities and their mundane everyday habitats, a contrast transition is needed.
Selecting the correct logical category narrows down the options.
3
Evaluate the choices to find the contrast transition.
Only 'However,' serves as a contrast transition. 'Consequently' and 'Thus' show cause-and-effect, while 'Furthermore' indicates addition.
This identifies the correct answer.

Anahtar Kavram

Sentence-level transition words must reflect the logical relationship (contrast, cause-effect, addition, or illustration) between the ideas they connect.
