Which of these transitions signals time progression?
Correct answer: A. Later on
- A. Later on
- B. Therefore
- C. Moreover
- D. For instance
Explanation
The transition 'Later on' is used to denote a progression in time, indicating something that happens after a certain point. This makes it the correct choice for signaling time progression. 'Therefore' is used to show cause and effect, 'Moreover' is used to add further information, and 'For instance' introduces examples. None of these indicate a change in time.
