Zorluk: ZorTransitions: Addition and Similarity

In sociology, the "strength of weak ties" theory posits that acquaintances, rather than close friends, are more likely to introduce individuals to novel information and job opportunities because they bridge different social networks. ______ in network theory, the concept of "local bridges" refers to edges in a graph that connect otherwise disparate clusters, facilitating the flow of unique information across the system.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  1. Likewise,Cevap
  2. B
    Consequently,
  3. C
    Nonetheless,
  4. D
    In addition, similarly,

Cevap

Likewise,
The correct option is the transition that expresses similarity, as the passage compares a theory in sociology with a parallel concept in network theory. The transition 'Likewise' appropriately signals that the second concept functions in a manner similar to the first.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences.
The first sentence explains a sociological theory about how weak social ties (acquaintances) bridge different networks to share novel information. The second sentence describes a network theory concept about how local bridges connect distinct clusters to facilitate information flow.
Understanding the logical connection between the ideas is essential to selecting the correct transition.
2
Identify the type of transition needed.
Since both sentences describe analogous concepts that function in a similar way across different disciplines, a transition indicating similarity is required.
Selecting a transition that signals similarity will logically connect the two ideas.
3
Evaluate the choices against the identified relationship.
'Likewise' correctly establishes a similarity relationship. 'Consequently' incorrectly suggests cause-and-effect. 'Nonetheless' incorrectly suggests contrast. 'In addition, similarly' is redundant.
Comparing choices ensures the selected transition is both logically accurate and stylistically sound.
