Zorluk: ZorSentence-Level Transitions

Passage:
For decades, Mesoamerican scholars assumed that cacao was strictly a luxury item reserved for the Maya elite, who drank it from elaborate vessels during ceremonial rituals. [1] <underline>Consequently,</underline> chemical analyses of pottery fragments from modest, ordinary households have revealed traces of theobromine, a compound unique to cacao. This finding suggests that chocolate consumption was far more widespread across social classes than previously believed.

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. However,Cevap
  3. C

Cevap

The correct option is 'However,' because it establishes the necessary contrast between the traditional academic view and the contradicting archaeological findings.
The correct option is 'However,' because the relationship between the two sentences is one of contrast. The first sentence describes the belief that cacao was strictly for the elite, while the second sentence introduces physical evidence that contradicts this belief by showing cacao was present in ordinary households.

Comparing the two ideas allows us to identify the logical relationship between them.
