Read the following passage. Which transition word or phrase logically completes the text to establish a cause-and-effect relationship?
Cevap:In certain dense forests, the canopy exhibits a phenomenon known as "crown shyness," where the uppermost branches of adjacent trees do not touch. This leaves narrow gaps of open sky between individual crowns, which significantly reduces the transmission of leaf-eating insects between trees. 【consequently】, the overall health and survival rate of the forest community are enhanced because localized pest outbreaks are less likely to spread widely.
Cevap
Consequently (or other cause-and-effect transitions such as therefore, thus, or as a result)
The correct transition must establish a cause-and-effect relationship between the two ideas. The passage explains that the gaps between crowns reduce insect transmission, which in turn leads to the enhancement of overall forest health. Transition words such as 'consequently,' 'therefore,' 'thus,' 'hence,' 'accordingly,' or 'as a result' are correct because they show that the second idea is a direct result of the first.
