Question

Many transportation planners say that companies with offices in densely populated urban areas have an obligation to provide incentives to encourage employees to find alternative means of getting to and from work. , many believe that providing financial rewards to employees who are able to leave their cars at home sets a bad precedent and is not good business.
Which transition would fit in the blank in order to most effectively link claims to counterclaims?

A. Similarly
B. Therefore
C. For example
D. On the other hand

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D. The transition that would fit in the blank in order to most effectively link claims to counterclaims is the phrase "on the other hand".

Explanation:

The first part of the paragraph presented in the question shows a claim for the argument that offices should provide incentives to encourage its employees to use alternative transportation systems to the car. The sentence that needs the transition is the first sentence of the counterclaim of the paragraph, therefore the correct transition would be "on the other hand" which is normally use to present a contrasting point.

Answer 2

D. On the other hand
