Zorluk: ZorTransitions: Contrast and Concession

In 2020, researchers reported detecting phosphine gas in the atmosphere of Venus, a finding that generated intense interest because phosphine is a potential biomarker on terrestrial planets. The announcement prompted a flurry of planetary modeling and hypotheses about aerial microbes surviving in the planet's sulfuric acid clouds. __________, subsequent independent analyses of the data, as well as new observations with more sensitive telescope arrays, failed to detect any statistically significant trace of the gas, suggesting the original signal may have been a processing error.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  1. However,Cevap
  2. B
    Consequently,
  3. C
    Furthermore,
  4. D
    For instance,

Cevap

However,
The correct option establishes a contrast between the excitement generated by the initial detection of phosphine on Venus and the subsequent failure to replicate those findings.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two parts of the passage.
The first part discusses the excitement and hypotheses generated by the detection of phosphine on Venus. The second part introduces the subsequent failure to replicate the detection.
Understanding the logical connection between the sentences helps identify the correct transition category.
2
Identify the required transition category.
The relationship is one of contrast or concession, as the replication failure contradicts the excitement of the initial finding.
This narrows down the choices to transition words that signal contrast.
3
Evaluate the choices to find the contrast transition.
The choice meaning 'however' establishes contrast, while the other choices represent cause-and-effect, addition, and exemplification respectively.
Selecting the option that matches the identified category ensures logical flow.
