Cevap

However,
The passage establishes a contrast between the long-held belief that the cathedral's dome was inspired solely by Roman engineering and the new finding that it incorporated Byzantine methods absent in Roman designs. The transition 'However' correctly signals this contrast.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences.
The first sentence introduces the traditional view that the dome's design was based solely on Roman techniques. The second sentence introduces new findings indicating that Byzantine masonry methods were also used, which contradicts the 'solely Roman' assumption.
Understanding the logical connection between the ideas is necessary to select the correct category of transition.
2
Determine the transition category.
A transition signaling contrast or concession is needed because the second sentence challenges the claim in the first sentence.
Identifying the relationship type allows us to eliminate transitions belonging to other categories like addition, cause/effect, or exemplification.
3
Select the option that matches the category.
'However' is the only transition in the choices that establishes a contrast relationship.
Selecting the correct transition ensures the text flows logically and reflects the analytical shift in perspective.
