In the late 1800s, long-distance communication was difficult. Though there was a postal service, it was slow and unreliable. Let

Answer:

<em>The word or phrase that makes the transition to a different idea in this excerpt is</em><em> "in contrast."</em>

Explanation:

In English language, there are certain words or phrases that are used to connect ideas, sentences or paragraphs. These words or phrases are called <u>linking words</u>. There are many types of <u>linking words</u> classified according to their function, for example:

  • Addition: <em>also, as well as, in addition to, moreover, </em>etc.
  • Consequence: <em>as a result, hence, therefore,</em> etc.
  • Contrast: <em>although, rather, </em><em>in contrast</em><em>, </em>etc.  

In this excerpt, the phrase <em>in contrast</em> is used as a linking word to show a transition to an opposite idea within the same paragraph and compare communication in two different time periods.
