Zorluk: OrtaTransitions: Cause and Effect

In behavioral economics, loss aversion refers to the tendency of individuals to prefer avoiding losses over acquiring equivalent gains. This psychological bias makes the pain of losing a sum of money feel twice as intense as the joy of acquiring it. ________, investors frequently hold onto declining stocks for too long in the hope of breaking even, rather than selling them to prevent further losses.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  1. Consequently,Cevap
  2. B
    Conversely,
  3. C
    Furthermore,
  4. D
    Previously,

Cevap

Consequently,
The correct answer is the option that presents the cause-and-effect transition. The passage establishes that loss aversion causes people to avoid losses more intensely than they seek gains. It then describes a real-world effect of this bias: investors holding onto declining stocks. The transition word must indicate that the second idea is a direct result of the first, making 'Consequently' the most logical choice.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the sentences before and after the blank.
The first two sentences define the psychological bias of loss aversion, while the third sentence describes how investors hold onto declining stocks to avoid realizing a loss.
Identifying the content of both parts of the text is necessary to understand how they relate logically.
2
Identify the type of logical connection between these ideas.
The tendency of investors to hold onto declining stocks is a direct consequence of their desire to avoid the pain of a loss. Therefore, the relationship is cause-and-effect.
Determining that the second statement is an effect of the first points to the need for a cause-and-effect transition.
3
Select the transition word that correctly expresses this cause-and-effect relationship.
The word 'Consequently' is used to introduce a statement that is the result of a previous one.
Choosing 'Consequently' maintains the logical coherence of the passage.
