Zorluk: OrtaTransitions: Cause and Effect

Read the passage about the giant rosette plant *Espeletia*. Write the transition word or phrase that best completes the text by establishing a cause-and-effect relationship.

Cevap:In the cold, high-altitude ecosystems of the Andes, the giant rosette plant *Espeletia* faces freezing nightly temperatures followed by intense daytime heat. To survive, the plant retains its dead leaves around its trunk to act as insulation. 【consequently】, the plant's delicate vascular tissues remain shielded from the sub-zero temperatures, ensuring the continuous transport of nutrients.

Cevap

The transition word must express a cause-and-effect relationship, such as 'consequently', 'therefore', 'thus', 'hence', 'as a result', or 'accordingly'.
The passage describes a protective adaptation of the *Espeletia* plant (retaining dead leaves as insulation) and immediately follows it with the outcome of that adaptation (vascular tissues remaining shielded). A cause-and-effect transition like 'consequently', 'therefore', or 'thus' is required to logically connect these two sentences.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the logical connection between the two sentences surrounding the blank.
The sentence before the blank states that the plant retains its dead leaves to act as insulation. The sentence after the blank describes the outcome of this action: the plant's delicate vascular tissues remain shielded from sub-zero temperatures.
Evaluating how the ideas relate to one another is necessary to determine the correct logical transition.
2
Identify the transition type that matches this logical connection.
The second sentence is a direct consequence of the first sentence. A cause-and-effect transition is needed.
Transitions like 'consequently' or 'therefore' show that the shielding of the tissues is the effect of the leaf insulation.
