Gordon has written the following paragraphs about the Hubble Telescope: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which was named after
the astronomer Edwin Hubble, orbits the earth and observes the far reaches of the universe in near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra. Its launch in 1990 was the fulfillment of almost 70 years of theory and planning—and almost 20 years of construction. When it was launched, the telescope contained five scientific instruments: a Wide Field and Planetary Camera (WF/PC), a Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), a High Speed Photometer (HSP), a Faint Object Camera (FOC), and a Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS). After many initial technological challenges, the HST was finally fully operational in 1993 and began capturing some of the most breathtaking pictures of the universe ever recorded. Which is a transitional phrase, and what is its purpose? A. “the HST was finally fully operational”; to ensure that the text has a formal style
B. “When it was launched”; to provide a clear transition between the ideas in the two paragraphs
C. “the telescope contained five scientific instruments”; to add precise, relevant details to the second paragraph
D. “observes the far reaches of the universe in near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectra”; to clarify meaning through the use of topic-specific vocabulary
B. “When it was launched”; to provide a clear transition between the ideas in the two paragraphs
Explanation:
If you do not know, the definition of a transitional phrase is a way to guide your reader from one idea to the next, this answer provides an accurate purpose and transition.
The field studies of Japanese primatologist Kinji Imanishi about bonobos <u>revealed the importance of social cooperation</u> rather than competition.
Kinji Imanishi wanted to expand his views among great apes’ attack behaviors and social ranking, that is why he opted to investigate and demonstrate the Bonobos social cooperation rather than competition.
The pivotal meeting signaled a generation gap in the civil rights movement that endured through its existence. King had never participated in the Freedom Rides and, for some, this signaled a reluctance on his part to put his life in direct risk. That he may have felt too important to join others in the field.
