Set 16: Transitions
Explanation
PASSAGE
Many organisms have developed survival mechanisms. _______ the arctic fox uses protective coloration to evade predators.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
Detailed Answer Explanation
The correct answer is 'Specifically,' because the relationship between the sentences is giving an example. Example transitions introduce a specific illustration of a general statement. Words like "For example" and "Specifically" signal that concrete evidence follows a broader claim.
Key Evidence:
• "Many organisms have developed survival mechanisms...."
• "the arctic fox uses protective coloration to evade..."
Why others are wrong: B ('In addition,' adds parallel information, but this sentence provides a specific illustration of the general claim), C ('Comparably,' suggests similarity between different subjects, but this is an example within the same topic), D ('Nevertheless,' signals opposition, but the specific case here supports and illustrates the general statement).
