Set 14: Transitions (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
The museum's collection includes works from many time periods. It has ancient Greek sculptures. It also has Renaissance paintings. _______ it displays contemporary art.
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. 'Furthermore' adds another category to the list of time periods represented. 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:
• "ancient Greek sculptures"
• "Renaissance paintings"
• "contemporary art"
Why others are wrong: A ('Instead' suggests replacement, but this is addition.), C ('In contrast' shows opposition, but all are examples.), B ('However' shows contrast, but this adds more.).
