Question

1. identify the transition and its purpose within the sentence below from a technical manual.

view the image at the bottom of this page to identify the necessary tools.
○ the transition word view clarifies the action.
○ the transition image identifies a visual aid.
○ the transitional phrase at the bottom conveys a cause - and - effect relationship.
○ the transitional phrase at the bottom clarifies the location.

Explanation:

The phrase "at the bottom of this page" is a transitional element that specifically tells the reader where to find the image, so its purpose is to clarify location. The other options are incorrect: "view" is not a transition word here, "image" is not a transition, and the phrase does not convey cause-and-effect.

Answer:

The transitional phrase at the bottom clarifies the location.
