Zorluk: OrtaTransitions: Cause and Effect

To protect their nests from predators, some species of tropical wasps construct nests with narrow, complex entrances that deter larger invaders. While these architectural barriers are highly effective at keeping out predators, they also restrict the airflow inside the nest, causing temperature and humidity levels to rise. The wasps, _______, must actively fan their wings to ventilate the chambers and prevent their larvae from overheating.

Which choice completes the passage with the most logical transition?

  1. A
    nevertheless
  2. thereforeCevap
  3. C
    furthermore
  4. D
    meanwhile

Cevap

therefore
The passage establishes that the narrow entrances of the nests restrict airflow and cause temperatures to rise. The following sentence states that the wasps must fan their wings to ventilate the chambers. Since fanning the wings is a direct consequence of the temperature rise, the cause-and-effect transition 'therefore' is correct.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the sentences.
The first sentence explains that the nest structure limits airflow, which raises the temperature and humidity. The second sentence states that the wasps must fan their wings to prevent larvae from overheating.
Understanding the logical connection between the ideas is necessary to choose the correct transition.
2
Identify the logical category of the transition.
Because the wasps' need to fan their wings is a direct consequence of the rising temperature inside the nest, a cause-and-effect transition is required.
The correct transition must match the logical relationship established in the text.
3
Evaluate the choices against the identified relationship.
The word 'therefore' expresses cause and effect, while 'nevertheless' indicates contrast, 'furthermore' indicates addition, and 'meanwhile' indicates chronological sequence.
Selecting the transition that matches the cause-and-effect relationship ensures the text is logically cohesive.
