Expression of Ideas practice question
Some animals survive harsh winters by changing their appearance. ____, the Arctic fox grows a thick white coat that both insulates it and camouflages it against the snow.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
- A. For example,Correct
- B. On the other hand,
- C. Consequently,
- D. In conclusion,
Answer: A. For example,
The second sentence gives a specific instance of the general claim in the first. 'For example' introduces that illustration. The other options signal contrast, consequence, or a summary, none of which fit.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. On the other hand,
- "On the other hand" sets up a contrast, but the Arctic fox's white coat illustrates the first sentence's claim about changing appearance rather than opposing it.
- C. Consequently,
- "Consequently" would mean the general claim caused the fox to grow its coat; the fox is an example of the claim, not an effect of it.
- D. In conclusion,
- "In conclusion" wraps up a discussion, but this sentence is opening one by giving the first specific instance.
