Zorluk: KolayTransitions: Cause and Effect

Read the passage below. Which transition word or phrase most logically completes the blank?

Cevap:In chemical experiments, raising the temperature of a reaction mixture increases the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules, causing them to collide both more frequently and with greater force. 【consequently】, the overall chemical reaction typically proceeds at a significantly faster rate under warmer conditions than it does at lower temperatures.

Cevap

consequently (or another cause-and-effect transition such as therefore, thus, hence, or as a result)
The correct answer must be a cause-and-effect transition because the second sentence describes the direct result (a faster reaction rate) of the physical cause detailed in the first sentence (increased kinetic energy and molecular collisions). Words such as 'consequently', 'therefore', 'thus', 'hence', and 'as a result' establish this logical connection.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences separated by the blank.
The first sentence explains that raising temperature increases kinetic energy and collisions of molecules, and the second sentence states that reactions proceed faster in warmer conditions.
Identifying the relationship between the ideas is necessary to determine the correct category of transition.
2
Determine the logical flow between these ideas.
The faster reaction rate is a direct consequence of the increased kinetic energy and molecular collisions. This is a cause-and-effect relationship.
Pinpointing the specific logical flow helps narrow down the appropriate transition words.
3
Select a transition that expresses cause-and-effect and grammatically fits the sentence starting position.
Transition words like 'consequently', 'therefore', 'thus', 'hence', or 'as a result' logically and grammatically complete the sentence.
Providing a cause-and-effect transition correctly connects the premise to the conclusion.
