Question

noredink transition words/phrases questions answered: 23 try again! answer two in a row correctly to continue. select the best transition words or phrases in the text below. the gladers value structure in their daily lives. lastly, the boys each have specific tasks that they are required to carry out each day. nevertheless, newt says that their \whole existence depends on things working\ and the boys maintaining order (dashner 101-2). the maze runner james dashner

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. For "Lastly": The first sentence introduces that Gladers value structure, and the next sentence gives an example of how (specific tasks). So a better transition here would be "For example" (or similar illustrative transition) instead of "Lastly" (which is for final points in a list). But since we need to correct the transition, let's analyze the second transition first too.
  2. For "Nevertheless": The sentence about Newt is supporting the idea that their existence depends on order (which ties to the value of structure and specific tasks). "Nevertheless" implies a contrast, but here it's a reinforcement. A better transition would be "For example" or "In fact", but let's focus on the correct transitions. Wait, maybe the intended correct transitions:
  • First transition: The first part is about valuing structure, then the boys having specific tasks (which is an example of the structure). So "For example" instead of "Lastly".
  • Second transition: The quote from Newt is explaining why the tasks are important (supporting the idea of structure), so "In fact" or "For instance" or maybe "Additionally" would be better than "Nevertheless" (which is contrast). But since the problem is to select the best transition, let's re - evaluate. Wait, maybe the original transitions are wrong. Let's check the logical flow:
  • First sentence: Gladers value structure.
  • Next: the boys each have specific tasks (this is an example of the structure they value). So "For example" is better than "Lastly" (because "Lastly" is for the final item in a list, but this is an example, not the last point).
  • Then, Newt's quote: their whole existence depends on things working and maintaining order (this is a reason why the structure (tasks) is important, so it's a further explanation or support, not a contrast. So "Nevertheless" (contrast) is wrong. A better transition here would be "In fact" or "Additionally".

But since the problem is to select the best transitions (maybe the options are given, but in the image, we can see the underlined words are "Lastly" and "Nevertheless" which are wrong. Let's assume the correct transitions:

For the first blank (after "lives."): Since the next sentence is an example of the structure they value, "For example" is better than "Lastly".

For the second blank (after "day."): Since the quote is supporting the importance of the structure (tasks), "In fact" or "Additionally" is better than "Nevertheless". But maybe the intended correct transitions are:

First transition: Replace "Lastly" with "For example" (because the specific tasks are an example of the structure they value).

Second transition: Replace "Nevertheless" with "In fact" (because the quote is emphasizing the point about the structure and tasks).

Wait, maybe the correct answers are:

  • First transition: "For example" (instead of "Lastly")
  • Second transition: "In fact" (instead of "Nevertheless")

But since the problem is to select the best transition words, let's conclude:

The first transition "Lastly" is incorrect because it's not the last point, it's an example. The second transition "Nevertheless" is incorrect because there's no contrast, it's a support. So the best transitions would be:

  • First: "For example"
  • Second: "In fact"

But maybe the options (if there were options) would have these. Since the user's image shows the underlined words as "Lastly" and "Nevertheless", we need to correct them.

Answer:

  1. Replace "Lastly" with "For example" (or a similar illustrative transition).
  2. Replace "Nevertheless" with "In fact" (or a similar supportive transition).

(Note: Since the problem is about transition words in a text (from "The Maze Runner"), the subfield is Linguistics (under Arts) as it deals with language structure and transitions.)
