Zorluk: OrtaTransitions: Elaboration and Exemplification

Astronomers analyzing the atmospheres of exoplanets have found that some hot Jupiters exhibit weather patterns far more extreme than those seen in our solar system. _______, on the exoplanet HD 189733b, winds can reach speeds of over 5,000 miles per hour, carrying clouds of silicate particles that cause it to rain liquid glass.

Which choice completes the passage with the most logical transition?

  1. A
    Consequently
  2. For exampleCevap
  3. C
    Nevertheless
  4. D
    Previously

Cevap

For example
The first sentence makes a general assertion about extreme weather on some hot Jupiters. The second sentence supports and details this assertion by describing the specific weather conditions on the exoplanet HD 189733b. The transition 'For example' is the only option that correctly establishes this exemplification relationship.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences in the passage.
The first sentence introduces a general claim that some hot Jupiters have weather patterns far more extreme than those in our solar system. The second sentence presents a specific exoplanet, HD 189733b, and describes its extreme weather conditions.
Identifying the relationship allows us to determine what category of transition word is needed.
2
Classify the connection as elaboration/exemplification.
Since the second sentence illustrates the general claim of the first sentence with a specific case, the transition must signal exemplification.
An exemplification transition is necessary to logically connect a general statement to a specific instance.
3
Evaluate the choices against this classification.
The transition 'For example' matches this relationship. Other choices introduce incorrect relationships such as cause-and-effect, contrast, or chronological sequence.
Selecting the option that matches the exemplification relationship completes the passage logically.
