Set 13: Transitions (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
Honeybees communicate through dance. _______ they perform a 'waggle dance' to tell other bees where to find food.
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. 'Specifically' introduces a specific example of how they communicate through dance. 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:
• "communicate through dance"
• "'waggle dance'"
Why others are wrong: D ('In contrast' shows opposition, but this adds detail.), C ('However' shows contrast, but this gives details.), B ('Meanwhile' shows simultaneous events, not specification.).
