Zorluk: OrtaSentence-Level Transitions

Passage

The *Welwitschia* plant survives in the hyper-arid Namib Desert by absorbing moisture from early morning fog. Nonetheless, it has developed an extensive, shallow root system to capture any sporadic rainfall that touches the desert floor.

Which choice best replaces the underlined word to establish the most logical relationship between the two sentences?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. Furthermore,Cevap
  3. C
    Consequently,
  4. D
    Alternatively,

Cevap

Furthermore,
The correct option is 'Furthermore,'. The first sentence explains one way the plant gathers water (fog absorption), and the second sentence details another way (shallow roots). Because the second sentence adds another supporting point to the first, an additive transition like 'Furthermore' is the most logical choice.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences connected by the transition.
The first sentence describes how the plant absorbs moisture from early morning fog. The second sentence describes how the plant uses a shallow root system to capture rainfall. Both sentences describe different, complementary adaptations for gathering water.
Understanding the logical connection between the ideas is essential to selecting the correct transition word.
2
Evaluate the transition category needed.
Since both sentences describe supporting details of the plant's survival strategy, an additive transition (like 'Furthermore' or 'In addition') is required.
The transition must accurately signal that the second point is an additional piece of information supporting the same overall theme.
3
Evaluate the choices against the required category.
'NO CHANGE' (Nonetheless) and 'Alternatively' show contrast or choice, and 'Consequently' shows cause-and-effect. Only 'Furthermore' correctly functions as an additive transition.
Eliminating options with incorrect logical relationships leaves the correct choice.
