Transcript text: Which of the following transitional words or phrases should be used to conclude?
a. Although
c. Therefore
b. Consequently
d. all of the above
Solution
Answer
The answer is c. Therefore
Explanation
Option a: Although
"Although" is typically used to introduce a contrast or exception, not to conclude a statement or argument. It is more appropriate for showing a relationship between two contrasting ideas.
Option b: Consequently
"Consequently" is used to show a result or effect of a previous statement. While it can be used in concluding sections to indicate a result, it is not as directly conclusive as "therefore."
Option c: Therefore
"Therefore" is a transitional word that is commonly used to conclude an argument or statement by indicating a logical result or conclusion. It is the most appropriate choice for concluding.
Option d: all of the above
This option is incorrect because not all the listed words or phrases are suitable for concluding a statement. Only "therefore" is directly used for this purpose.
