Zorluk: OrtaTransitions: Elaboration and Exemplification

Biologists studying deep-sea ecosystems have long observed the phenomenon of abyssal gigantism, in which certain marine species grow to sizes far exceeding those of their shallow-water relatives. _______, the giant isopod (*Bathynomus giganteus*) can reach a length of up to 30 centimeters, whereas its coastal counterparts typically measure no more than a few centimeters. This stark size difference is hypothesized to be an adaptation to the extreme pressure and scarce food resources characteristic of the deep ocean.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  1. A
    Alternatively
  2. B
    Furthermore
  3. For instanceCevap
  4. D
    Subsequently

Cevap

The transition 'For instance' logically connects the general claim about abyssal gigantism with the specific example of the giant isopod.
The transition 'For instance' is correct because the second sentence provides a specific example (the giant isopod) that illustrates the general phenomenon of abyssal gigantism described in the first sentence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the first and second sentences of the passage.
The first sentence introduces the general concept of abyssal gigantism, while the second sentence provides a specific species (the giant isopod) to illustrate this concept.
Understanding how the sentences connect is necessary to identify the correct transition type.
2
Identify the transition category required for the blank.
Since the second sentence illustrates the first sentence by giving a concrete example, an exemplification transition is required.
The transition must signal to the reader that a specific example is being introduced.
3
Evaluate the choices to find the one that fits the exemplification category.
The option containing 'For instance' fits the exemplification category, whereas the other options represent contrast ('Alternatively'), addition ('Furthermore'), or chronology ('Subsequently').
Selecting the transition word that matches the logical relationship ensures a coherent text.
