Zorluk: KolaySentence-Level Transitions

Passage:

Monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles south to Mexico every autumn. [2] <underline>Consequently</underline>, they do not possess a map or GPS; they must rely on environmental cues like temperature and daylight to navigate the long journey.

Which choice most effectively transitions from the first sentence to the second sentence?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. However,Cevap
  3. C
    For instance,
  4. D
    In addition,

Cevap

The transition 'However,' is the correct choice because it establishes a contrast between the butterflies' long-distance migration and their lack of navigation tools.
The transition 'However,' is correct because it highlights the contrast between the butterflies' ability to travel thousands of miles and their lack of typical navigational instruments.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences.
The first sentence describes an impressive long-distance migration, while the second sentence describes the lack of maps or GPS. This relationship is one of contrast.
Choosing the correct transition requires identifying the logical relationship between the adjacent ideas.
2
Evaluate the transition word options to find the one that shows contrast.
The words 'Consequently' (cause-effect), 'For instance' (illustration), and 'In addition' (addition) do not fit. Only 'However' signals contrast.
Eliminating incorrect logical relationships leaves the only logically sound choice.

Anahtar Kavram

Sentence-level transitions must accurately reflect the logical connection—such as contrast, cause-and-effect, addition, or illustration—between the sentences they join.
