Zorluk: OrtaSentence-Level Transitions

Passage

In 1931, engineering draftsman Harry Beck designed a new map for the London Underground. Previously, transit maps of the railway system had attempted to depict geographic distance accurately, which made the layout in the city center look cluttered and difficult to read. Consequently, Beck proposed a simplified, color-coded schematic diagram that prioritized network connections over geographic accuracy.

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

  1. NO CHANGECevap
  2. B
    However,
  3. C
    For instance,
  4. D
    Moreover, consequently,

Cevap

The choice 'NO CHANGE' is correct because the transition 'Consequently' appropriately establishes a cause-and-effect relationship between the cluttered, geographically accurate maps and Beck's proposal of a simplified schematic diagram.
The transition 'Consequently' is the most logical choice because it correctly establishes a cause-and-effect relationship: because the geographically accurate maps were cluttered and confusing, Beck designed a simplified schematic diagram as a solution.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the logical relationship between the preceding sentence and the sentence containing the transition.
The preceding sentence describes a problem (cluttered, hard-to-read transit maps). The following sentence describes Beck's response to that problem (proposing a simplified diagram).
Understanding the semantic connection between the two ideas is necessary to select the correct transition.
2
Evaluate the relationship type.
Since Beck's action was a direct result of the previous maps being confusing, the relationship is cause-and-effect.
This relationship type dictates which category of transition words to look for.
3
Evaluate the choices against this cause-and-effect relationship.
'Consequently' is the only option that correctly establishes a cause-and-effect relationship. 'However' indicates contrast, 'For instance' indicates illustration, and 'Moreover, consequently' is redundant.
Selecting the option that matches the identified relationship ensures the passage is cohesive and logically sound.
