Read the following paragraph and answer the question. 1 Poe really was the inventor of the detective story, which he called the

"ratiocinative" tale. 2 Here believing the effect intended was "to perplex the reader and whet his desire for elucidation," he originated two devices useful to this day. 3 One might be called "the device of the baffled friend": He gave his brilliant detective a companion not good at solutions and had him tell the story. 4 Viewing the happenings through this narrator's eyes, the reader shares his growing puzzlement. 5 Poe used his second device at the tale's end: He had the detective disclose his surprising solution and then "elucidate" step by step the reasoning which led to it. 6 "The Purloined Letter" demonstrated Poe's use of these two devices in a detective story.

A transition serves as a _____ between sentences and paragraphs.
HACTEHA [7]
As for this problem concerning about a transition between sentences and paragraphs, the most probable and most likely to be the answer out of the options presented would be the third one which is a bridge.

A transition serves as a bridge between sentences and paragraphs. Though they create a divide between them, these transitions do not necessarily indicate that the divide is to cause to present that the two aren't connected to each other. A summary and introduction wouldn't do since a transition functions more and effectively between sentences and paragraphs.
