Set 15: Transitions (Intermediate)
Explanation
PASSAGE
Vitamins are essential for good health. Vitamin C, _______ helps the body fight infections.
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. 'In particular' singles out Vitamin C as a specific example of vitamins. 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:
• "Vitamins are essential"
• "Vitamin C... helps"
Why others are wrong: C ('however' shows contrast, but this is a specific example.), D ('as a result' shows cause-effect, not specification.), A ('instead' suggests replacement, not specification.).
