Set 15: Transitions (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
The novel was set in 19th century England. _______ the film adaptation moved the story to modern-day New York.
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. 'However' signals the contrast between the original setting and the adaptation's setting. 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:
• "19th century England"
• "modern-day New York"
Why others are wrong: A ('Similarly' shows comparison, but settings are different.), C ('Therefore' shows result, but this is contrast.), D ('Consequently' shows result, but this is contrast.).
