Zorluk: ZorTransitions: Contrast and Concession

Deep-sea shrimp of the species *Rimicaris exoculata* inhabit hydrothermal vents along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a habitat completely devoid of solar light. Because they reside in permanent darkness, these shrimp lack the functional compound eyes typical of other decapod crustaceans. ______ they possess a specialized dorsal organ beneath their carapace that detects faint, near-infrared thermal radiation emitted by the hot vent fluids, allowing them to navigate their environment.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  1. A
    Consequently,
  2. Still,Cevap
  3. C
    Furthermore,
  4. D
    In other words,

Cevap

The transition 'Still' is the correct choice because it established the contrast between the shrimp's lack of typical compound eyes and their ability to navigate using a specialized dorsal organ.
The correct answer introduces a contrast or concession. The passage establishes that deep-sea shrimp of the species *Rimicaris exoculata* lack functional compound eyes, which would normally make navigation in darkness impossible. The subsequent sentence reveals that they possess a specialized dorsal organ that detects infrared thermal radiation, allowing them to navigate. The transition 'Still' correctly introduces this concession, showing that despite lacking standard eyes, they are nevertheless equipped to navigate.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences.
The first sentence describes a deficiency (lacking functional compound eyes), while the second sentence describes an alternative mechanism that allows navigation (possessing a specialized dorsal organ).
Identifying the logical connection between the ideas is necessary to determine the correct category of transition.
2
Determine the transition category.
The relationship is concessive or contrastive: although the shrimp lack normal eyes, they can still navigate.
This narrows the choices down to transition words that express contrast or concession.
3
Evaluate the choices against the contrast category.
'Still' functions as a contrast transition meaning 'nevertheless.' The other choices represent cause-and-effect ('Consequently'), addition ('Furthermore'), or restatement ('In other words').
Selecting the option that matches the identified relationship completes the text logically.
