Zorluk: KolayTransitions: Cause and Effect

Plants in a forest are connected by underground networks of mycorrhizal fungi, which allow them to share nutrients and water. When a tree is attacked by pests, it transmits warning chemical signals through these fungal pathways to neighboring trees. ________, the receiving trees quickly synthesize defensive chemicals to protect themselves before the pests arrive.

Which choice completes the passage with the most logical transition?

  1. A
    Furthermore
  2. B
    Nevertheless
  3. ConsequentlyCevap
  4. D
    Previously

Cevap

Consequently
The transition 'Consequently' is correct because it logically links the cause (transmitting warning signals to neighboring trees) with its direct effect (the receiving trees synthesizing defensive chemicals).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the ideas in the passage.
The first sentence explains that trees transmit warning signals to neighbors when attacked. The second sentence describes how the receiving trees synthesize defensive chemicals to protect themselves.
Identifying the logical link between the sentences is necessary to choose the correct transition.
2
Determine the type of transition required.
Since the defense response of the receiving trees is a direct result or effect of receiving the warning signals, a cause-and-effect transition is needed.
This establishes the relationship that the transition must represent.
3
Evaluate the choices to find the transition that indicates cause and effect.
The word 'Consequently' denotes a cause-and-effect relationship, while the other options represent addition, contrast, or chronology.
This identifies the correct choice.
