Many desert plants have evolved specialized physical adaptations to survive in regions with extreme drought and minimal rainfall. __________, the saguaro cactus of the Sonoran Desert features a ribbed stem structure that expands like an accordion, allowing the plant to store thousands of gallons of water during brief rainy periods.

Which choice completes the passage with the most logical transition?

  1. For instance,Cevap
  2. B
    However,
  3. C
    In addition,
  4. D
    Subsequently,

Cevap

For instance,
The passage transitions from a general statement about the physical adaptations of desert plants to a specific example of one such plant (the saguaro cactus). The phrase 'For instance' is used to introduce an example, making it the most logical fit.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences.
The first sentence makes a general statement about desert plants evolving specialized physical adaptations. The second sentence introduces a specific plant (the saguaro cactus) and describes its specific adaptation (a ribbed, water-storing stem).
Understanding how the two parts of the text connect is necessary to choose the correct transition.
2
Determine the logical transition type required.
Since the second sentence serves as a concrete case that illustrates the general statement in the first sentence, an exemplification transition is required.
This helps narrow down the choices to transition words that introduce examples or details.
3
Evaluate the choices to find the transition that fits this relationship.
'For instance' is an exemplification transition that fits the context, whereas 'However' (contrast), 'In addition' (addition), and 'Subsequently' (chronology) do not logically fit.
Selecting the option that correctly describes the relationship between the sentences.
