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.
