Expression of Ideas practice question
The photographs of the comet were taken through a filter that blocks nearly all visible light. ____ the images reveal features that would be invisible to the naked eye.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
- A. Hence,Correct
- B. However,
- C. Similarly,
- D. For example,
Answer: A. Hence,
Because the filter blocks visible light, the images show what visible light would hide. The second sentence is a consequence of the first, so 'Hence' fits.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. However,
- 'However' would set the revealed features against the filter. The filter is what reveals them.
- C. Similarly,
- 'Similarly' signals a parallel case; there's only one case, and one thing causes the other.
- D. For example,
- 'For example' would make the invisible features an example of the filter blocking light.
