"There are many tourist attractions in Paris. _, the Eiffel Tower is the most popular." Which transition is best?
Correct answer: A. For example
- A. For example
- B. Similarly
- C. Conversely
- D. Therefore
Explanation
The correct answer is For example because the sentence is providing a specific instance of a tourist attraction in Paris, namely the Eiffel Tower, which is meant to illustrate or exemplify the broader category of 'many tourist attractions.' The other options, Similarly, Conversely, and Therefore, do not logically fit because they suggest relationships such as similarity, contrast, or cause and effect rather than providing an example.
