Note from the author:

6.10Bi - The student is expected to develop drafts into a focused, structured, and coherent piece of writing organizing with purposeful structure, including an introduction, transitions, coherence within and across paragraphs, and a conclusion.

  • Students are expected to determine the best order in which to present the content of their compositions so that the compositions are easily accessible to readers. Students should create an introduction (opening paragraph) that orients the reader to the focus or topic of the composition and/or engages the readers, encouraging them to continue reading. Students should use transitions to add depth and detail to an idea or to introduce a new idea. Students are expected to consider the intended purpose of their composition to create an effective conclusion. The conclusion is students’ last opportunity to impress something upon the reader. It should restate the importance of a point made in the composition, communicate a feeling the writer wants the reader to experience, or deliver a directive the writer wants the reader to follow.
  • transition: words or phrases purposefully used to help sustain a thought or idea, linking sentences and paragraphs together smoothly so that there are no abrupt jumps or breaks between ideas

Test Taking Tips

This question is asking you to SUBSTITUTE an inappropriate transition that doesn't connect the ideas in sentence 6 to those in sentence 7 with a transition word that does.

Transition Words and Phrases

Writers use transitions to connect ideas between paragraphs and sentences. Transitions fall into 4 main categories:
  • Transitions that ADD introduce new information or examples to the text before it by giving examples, support, emphasis, additional information, and similarities.
  • Transitions that CONTRAST introduces information that disagrees or contrasts with the text before it.
  • CAUSE AND EFFECT transition words are used to express purpose (why something happened), consequence (what happened), and condition (what happens if).
  • Transitions that indicate a SEQUENCE are used to show the order in which events happened, the order that the writer presents them, to summarize information already given, and to indicate introductions and conclusions.
In order to answer this question, you need to analyze how the information in sentence 7 relates to the information in sentence 6. You also need to know what type of transition each of the answer choices are.
