Zorluk: OrtaSentence-Level Transitions

Passage

Modern infrastructure relies heavily on concrete, a material prone to developing microscopic cracks over time due to weathering and tension. Although these tiny fissures may seem harmless at first, they allow moisture and harmful chemicals to seep into the structure, which eventually corrodes the internal steel reinforcement. [1] Nevertheless, materials scientists have developed a self-healing concrete that utilizes bacteria to repair these cracks from the inside. The concrete is mixed with dormant bacterial spores and nutrients that remain inactive until a crack forms and water enters. Upon contact with moisture, the bacteria wake up and produce limestone, effectively sealing the gap before structural damage can occur.

Question

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

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. In response,Cevap
  3. C
    For example,
  4. D
    Furthermore,

Cevap

In response,
The transition 'In response,' correctly establishes the cause-and-effect relationship between the problem described in the previous sentence (corrosion of steel reinforcement due to water seeping into cracks) and the solution introduced in the current sentence (the development of self-healing concrete by materials scientists).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the sentence preceding the transition and the sentence containing the transition.
The preceding sentence describes a problem: moisture seeping into cracks in concrete and corroding its steel reinforcement. The subsequent sentence describes a solution: scientists developing a self-healing concrete that repairs these cracks.
Identifying the logical relationship between the two thoughts is necessary to choose the correct transitional phrase.
2
Evaluate the options to determine which transition best reflects this relationship.
The transition 'In response,' indicates that the action in the second sentence was taken as a reaction to the problem in the first sentence. The other options establish incorrect relationships: 'Nevertheless' indicates contrast, 'For example' indicates illustration, and 'Furthermore' indicates addition.
Only the transition that correctly connects the problem to its solution is logically appropriate.
