Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.62 Paragraph Coherence and Transitions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Draft paragraph (missing sentence for coherence): The author argues that “smart” thermostats can reduce household energy use. They learn patterns and adjust heating and cooling automatically. Some households, however, do not save energy after installing them. ___ When people override the settings often, the device cannot maintain efficient patterns.

Which sentence best completes the blank to keep the reasoning connected?

AMany homes have different types of flooring, such as tile or carpet.

BEnergy use rises in winter because days are shorter.

COne explanation is that the technology works best when users allow it to run consistently rather than constantly changing it.

DThermostats are usually mounted on a wall in a central hallway.

Solution & Explanation:The paragraph introduces a claim, notes an exception, and then explains a reason for the exception. The correct sentence provides the missing link between “no savings” and the later point about overriding settings.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Draft paragraph (two sentences need a smoother connection): The school board wants to ban energy drinks on campus. Some students argue that bans do not change behavior; they just push choices off campus. The board wants a policy that actually improves student health.

Which sentence best fits between the second and third sentences to strengthen coherence?

AEnergy drinks are sold in many flavors, including fruit and citrus.

BTo be effective, the policy would need to include education and healthier alternatives, not only restrictions.

CCampus policies are usually written in formal language.

DSome students drink coffee instead of energy drinks.

Solution & Explanation:The paragraph moves from a concern about bans to a goal of improving health. The correct sentence bridges that gap by explaining what an effective health-focused policy would require.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Draft paragraph (needs a precise transition showing qualification): The study found that students who annotated texts scored higher on comprehension questions. The researchers also note that students already interested in reading may be more likely to annotate. ___ the study suggests a relationship, but it does not prove annotation alone caused higher scores.

Which transition best completes the blank?

AIn addition,

BFor example,

CMeanwhile,

DThus,

Solution & Explanation:The final sentence is a careful conclusion drawn from the limitation mentioned. “Thus,” signals that the writer is reasoning from the evidence to a qualified claim rather than adding another detail.
