Set 9: Transitions (Advanced)
Explanation
PASSAGE
Recycling helps reduce waste in landfills. It also conserves natural resources like timber and water. _______ recycling saves energy compared to producing new materials.
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. List of benefits: 1. Reduce waste, 2. Conserve resources, 3. Save energy. 'Additionally' adds another point to the list. 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:
• "helps reduce"
• "also conserves"
• "saves energy"
Why others are wrong: C (Not an example of the previous point.), D (Contrast.), A (Cause/Effect.).
