Zorluk: OrtaTransitions: Elaboration and Exemplification

In cognitive psychology, the concept of 'selective attention' refers to the human brain's ability to focus cognitive resources on a single sensory stimulus while successfully filtering out other competing inputs from the environment. _______, during a crowded and noisy social gathering, a person can easily maintain a coherent conversation with a single speaker while completely ignoring the surrounding cacophony of background chatter, music, and clinking glasses.

Which choice completes the passage with the most logical transition?

  1. A
    Subsequently,
  2. For instance,Cevap
  3. C
    On the other hand,
  4. D
    Furthermore,

Cevap

For instance,
The correct option is 'For instance,' because the relationship between the two sentences is one of exemplification. The first sentence introduces the general cognitive concept of 'selective attention,' and the second sentence provides a specific, concrete example of how this attention works in a real-world setting (focusing on a conversation at a noisy party).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the first and second sentences.
The first sentence defines 'selective attention' as focusing on one stimulus while filtering out others, while the second sentence describes a specific scenario (conversing in a noisy room) that demonstrates this cognitive ability.
Identifying the logical connection between the ideas is necessary to determine the appropriate transition category.
2
Classify the required transition relationship.
The second sentence serves as a concrete example of the general concept introduced in the first sentence, indicating that an exemplification transition is needed.
Knowing that the second sentence is an example guides the selection of the correct transition category.
3
Evaluate the choices to find the transition that fits this relationship.
'For instance,' is an exemplification transition, which perfectly matches the relationship, whereas the other options signal sequence, contrast, or addition.
Selecting the option that correctly represents the logical category of exemplification resolves the question.
