Zorluk: ZorTransitions: Elaboration and Exemplification

Recent archaeological excavations of the ancient Mesoamerican city of Teotihuacan suggest that its residential compounds were highly standardized, reflecting a centralized administrative plan. ______ each compound, regardless of the socio-economic status of its inhabitants, was constructed with thick concrete walls, a central courtyard, and a single controlled entrance.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  1. A
    Alternatively
  2. IndeedCevap
  3. C
    Consequently
  4. D
    Furthermore

Cevap

Indeed
The correct option is the transition that indicates elaboration. The first sentence asserts that the residential compounds of Teotihuacan were highly standardized. The second sentence elaborates on this assertion by detailing the exact design characteristics shared by these compounds. The transition 'Indeed' logically connects these sentences by emphasizing and expanding upon the initial statement.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences.
The first sentence makes a general assertion: the residential compounds of Teotihuacan were highly standardized. The second sentence details specific physical features (thick concrete walls, a central courtyard, and a single controlled entrance) shared by all these compounds.
Identifying the relationship establishes that the second sentence elaborates upon the general claim made in the first.
2
Determine the required transition type.
An elaboration or exemplification transition is required to connect a general statement to its specific details.
The correct transition must signal that the following sentence confirms or expands on the preceding idea.
3
Evaluate the choices based on the identified relationship.
The transition 'Indeed' logically indicates that the second sentence reinforces and details the assertion in the first sentence. The other choices ('Alternatively', 'Consequently', 'Furthermore') represent incorrect relationship categories for this context.
Only the transition that signals elaboration fits the context grammatically and logically.
