Set 7: Transitions (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
The human body is made up of about 60% water. _______ staying hydrated is essential for good health.
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. 'Therefore' shows that hydration is important as a consequence of being mostly water. 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:
• "60% water"
• "staying hydrated is essential"
Why others are wrong: D ('Similarly' shows comparison, but this is cause-effect.), C ('For example' gives examples, but this is a conclusion.), A ('In contrast' shows opposition, but this is cause-effect.).
