Question

Which of the following passages includes an appropriate transition between two sentences?

Answer 1

D. is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Correct answer:

D. Humans first began planting crops during the Neolithic Revolution. In addition, they also began domesticating animals.

I've underlined the transition words in that sentence -- "in addition."  Words such as in addition, also, or likewise show a relationship of similarity to preceding material in the previous sentence.  Transition words like but, rather, or, and however show a relationship of difference to what was stated in a prior sentence or paragraph. There are also transitional phrases that effects or consequences, like as a result  or in consequence.  There are transitional words/phrases that point to examples or support of a point: for instance, namely, as an illustration, etc.    And there are transition words that set up a conclusion: as has been shown, in summary, etc.
