SAT Transitions Practice: Questions and Answers

Correct answer

Choice D: However

Explanation

The later finding conflicts with the initial assumption that each label identified a different variety. However signals that contrast. Therefore would make the discovery a consequence of the assignment; for example would treat it as an illustration of unique labeling; moreover would add a compatible point without representing the contradiction.

Why each choice is right or wrong

1. Choice A

   The later duplication is not presented as a consequence of assigning labels.

2. Choice B

   Duplicate labels do not illustrate the claim that the labels were unique to different varieties.

3. Choice C

   Simple addition misses the contrast between the initial assignment and later discovery.

4. Choice D

   Correct answer

   However accurately introduces the finding that runs against the initial assumption.

Correct answer

Choice B: Additionally

Explanation

The final sentence supplies a second change in addition to shortening the introduction. Additionally expresses that additive relationship. No obstacle is overcome, the second change does not replace the first, and adding a heading is not an example of shortening an introduction.

Why each choice is right or wrong

1. Choice A

   Nevertheless signals a contrast or obstacle, but the text lists compatible changes.

2. Choice B

   Correct answer

   Additionally accurately introduces the second of the two changes.

3. Choice C

   Instead implies replacement, while the passage says both changes were made.

4. Choice D

   Adding a final-section heading does not exemplify shortening the introduction.

Correct answer

Choice C: Consequently

Explanation

The indoor move is presented as the result of the outdoor stage closing. Consequently expresses cause and consequence. Likewise would compare similar actions, despite this would signal a result occurring against expectations, and for instance would introduce an example of a broader category. Those relations are not the one described.

Why each choice is right or wrong

1. Choice A

   The sentences describe a cause and its result, not two parallel or similar actions.

2. Choice B

   Moving indoors is a response to the closure, not an outcome that occurs despite the closure.

3. Choice C

   Correct answer

   Consequently connects the stage closure to the resulting move.

4. Choice D

   The second sentence gives the actual response, not an example illustrating a general claim.
