Zorluk: OrtaTransitions: Elaboration and Exemplification

Ecologists studying urban wildlife have observed that many mammal species adapt their daily behaviors to minimize contact with human populations. __________, researchers monitoring coyote populations in heavily developed regions of Southern California documented a pronounced shift toward nocturnal activity, finding that these urban coyotes were active primarily during hours when human foot traffic was at its lowest.

Which choice completes the passage with the most logical transition?

  1. A
    Nonetheless,
  2. B
    Subsequently,
  3. C
    Furthermore,
  4. To illustrate,Cevap

Cevap

To illustrate,
The correct option is 'To illustrate' because the passage presents a general observation—that urban mammals adapt their behavior to avoid human contact—and then provides a specific example of this adaptation (Southern California coyotes shifting to nocturnal activity). 'To illustrate' is a transition that introduces an example or illustration.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences separated by the blank.
The first sentence asserts a general claim: urban mammals adapt their daily behaviors to avoid humans. The second sentence presents a specific finding: Southern California coyotes shifting to nocturnal activity to avoid human foot traffic.
Identifying the logical link between the general claim and the specific case study is required to choose the correct transition.
2
Determine the category of transition needed.
An exemplification or elaboration transition is required because the second sentence provides a concrete example that supports the general assertion of the first sentence.
Classifying the relation directs the choice toward words that signal examples.
3
Evaluate the choices to find the one that fits this category.
The option containing 'To illustrate' fits the exemplification category, whereas the other options represent contrast, chronology, and addition.
Selecting the option that matches the required logical transition category completes the passage.
