Set 10: Transitions (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the 18th century. _______ factories replaced many traditional workshops.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question asks you to choose the transition that best connects two ideas. 'During this time' connects the time period to what happened within it. Transitions signal the relationship between sentences or paragraphs. Determine the logical relationship (addition, contrast, cause-effect, example) and select the transition that accurately expresses it. The right transition makes the relationship between ideas crystal clear. Consider what logical connection exists: Is the second idea adding to the first? Contrasting it? Showing a result? The transition should accurately reflect this relationship.
Key Evidence:
• "began in Britain in the 18th century"
• "factories replaced"
Why others are wrong: C ('However' shows contrast, but this is describing what happened.), A ('For example' gives a specific example, not a time marker.), B ('In contrast' shows opposition, not a time connection.).
