Zorluk: OrtaTransitions: Cause and Effect

In behavioral economics, "choice overload" describes the psychological paralysis that occurs when consumers are presented with an excessive number of options. This abundance of choices can overwhelm a shopper's cognitive processing capacity. __________, individuals confronted with a vast selection often decide to walk away without making a purchase at all, or they select a product that fails to satisfy their actual needs.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  1. A
    Nevertheless
  2. B
    Furthermore
  3. ConsequentlyCevap
  4. D
    Previously

Cevap

Consequently
The correct option is the transition that indicates a cause-and-effect relationship. The passage states that an abundance of choices can overwhelm a shopper's cognitive processing capacity. The subsequent sentence explains the outcome of this overwhelm: individuals often walk away without buying or make poor decisions. Therefore, a transition indicating a consequence, such as 'consequently', is logically correct.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the first two sentences and the sentence containing the blank.
The first two sentences state that 'choice overload' occurs when there are too many options, which overwhelms a shopper's cognitive capacity. The sentence with the blank states that shoppers confronting a vast selection often walk away without purchasing or choose unsatisfying products.
Understanding the semantic connection between the two ideas is necessary to determine the correct logical transition.
2
Identify the logical relation between the cause (overwhelming cognitive capacity) and the effect (walking away without purchasing).
Because shoppers are overwhelmed (cause), they walk away without making a purchase (effect). This is a cause-and-effect relationship.
This determines that the transition must represent a cause-and-effect relationship.
3
Evaluate the choices to find the transition that indicates cause-and-effect.
The transition 'Consequently' correctly indicates a cause-and-effect relationship. Other transitions like 'Nevertheless' (contrast), 'Furthermore' (addition), and 'Previously' (chronology) do not fit this relationship.
Selecting the transition word that matches the identified logical relation completes the sentence correctly.
