Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.35 Logical Connections skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Paragraph 1: A community library offered both print books and audiobooks. Some readers chose audiobooks during long commutes. Paragraph 2: Other readers preferred print because they could pause to reread a tricky paragraph or to take notes in the margins. Add a transition at the start of Paragraph 2: _____

Which transition best shows comparison of preferences?

AFor example, audiobooks use sound.

BNext, readers return books.

CAs a result, commutes are always long.

DBy comparison, print books offer advantages for readers who want to slow down and study.

Solution & Explanation:The paragraphs compare audiobook and print preferences. “By comparison” introduces the contrasting advantages of print.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Paragraph 1: A student wrote that penguins live only in cold places. The student used one example: penguins in Antarctica. Paragraph 2: Another source described penguins living on islands near South America, where the climate is milder. Ocean currents keep the water cool enough for them. Add a transition at the start of Paragraph 2: _____

Which transition best shows that Paragraph 2 challenges the earlier claim with contrasting evidence?

ANext, Antarctica is a continent.

BIn contrast, other evidence shows penguins can live outside the coldest regions.

CFor example, islands are surrounded by water.

DAs a result, penguins are mammals.

Solution & Explanation:Paragraph 2 provides information that conflicts with “only in cold places.” “In contrast” signals the new information challenges the first claim.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Paragraph 1: A report explained that peatlands store large amounts of carbon in wet soil. When peat stays wet, the carbon breaks down slowly. Paragraph 2: Draining peatlands exposes the soil to air. With more oxygen, microbes break down the peat faster and release more carbon dioxide. Add a transition at the start of Paragraph 2: _____

Which transition best signals cause and effect with a change in conditions?

AIn contrast, carbon is invisible.

BNext, peat is used in gardening.

CIf the wet conditions change, the stored carbon can be released much more quickly.

DFor example, soil can be dark.

Solution & Explanation:Paragraph 2 explains what happens when peatlands are drained. The transition sets up the idea that changing conditions causes a faster release.
