Step-by-step solution for: SOLUTION: Transitional devices worksheets - Studypool
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Worksheet for Transition Words" from *YourDictionary*. The task is to practice identifying and using transition words that connect sentences smoothly.
However, the lower portion of the image (Part B) is blurred or cut off, so I can only fully analyze Part A, which asks students to underline the correct transition word in each sentence. Let's go through Part A step by step and explain the correct answers.
---
We'll examine each sentence and choose the best transition word based on meaning and logic.
---
1. (Because, Before) it was raining, I didn’t walk my dog this evening.
- "Because" shows cause and effect — the rain caused not walking the dog.
- "Before" would imply time sequence but doesn't fit logically here.
- ✔ Correct answer: Because
> ✔️ Because it was raining, I didn’t walk my dog this evening.
---
2. I love chocolate, (although, so) I eat chocolate candy whenever I can.
- "Although" introduces contrast — but the second part supports the first, so it doesn't work.
- "So" shows result — because I love chocolate, I eat it often.
- ✔ Correct answer: so
> ✔️ I love chocolate, so I eat chocolate candy whenever I can.
---
3. The test was really hard. (Therefore, Then), only five students passed it.
- "Therefore" means "as a result" — the hardness led to few passing.
- "Then" refers to time, not cause-effect.
- ✔ Correct answer: Therefore
> ✔️ The test was really hard. Therefore, only five students passed it.
---
4. First, you have to answer the questions. (Next, So), you hand in your paper.
- "Next" continues the sequence of actions.
- "So" implies result, which isn’t accurate here — handing in the paper is a step, not a consequence.
- ✔ Correct answer: Next
> ✔️ First, you have to answer the questions. Next, you hand in your paper.
---
5. Ben needs to go to bed early. (Although, Otherwise), he will be late for school.
- "Although" introduces contrast, but the second clause is a consequence.
- "Otherwise" means "if not" — if he doesn’t go to bed early, he’ll be late.
- ✔ Correct answer: Otherwise
> ✔️ Ben needs to go to bed early. Otherwise, he will be late for school.
---
6. You will see a big tree; (further on, however) you will see a fork in the road.
- "Further on" indicates continuation in space/time — fits with "you will see..."
- "However" shows contrast — but there’s no contradiction between seeing a tree and a fork.
- ✔ Correct answer: further on
> ✔️ You will see a big tree; further on, you will see a fork in the road.
---
7. He really loves reading. (Despite, In fact), he reads almost all the time.
- "Despite" requires a noun or noun phrase (e.g., Despite the rain...), not a full clause.
- "In fact" adds emphasis — strengthens the idea.
- ✔ Correct answer: In fact
> ✔️ He really loves reading. In fact, he reads almost all the time.
---
8. That would not be smart. (Despite, In other words), that would be idiotic.
- "Despite" doesn’t fit — we need to rephrase the same idea.
- "In other words" means “to put it differently” — perfect for explaining "not smart" = "idiotic".
- ✔ Correct answer: In other words
> ✔️ That would not be smart. In other words, that would be idiotic.
---
9. (Once, As soon as) the leaves of the forest, the days are growing shorter.
- This sentence seems incomplete or mistyped. It likely should be:
> "(Once, As soon as) the leaves fall from the trees, the days are growing shorter."
- "As soon as" indicates immediacy — when leaves fall, days shorten.
- "Once" also works, but "as soon as" is more natural.
- ✔ Best choice: As soon as
> ✔️ As soon as the leaves fall from the trees, the days are growing shorter.

| Sentence | Correct Transition Word |
|--------|-------------------------|
| 1 | Because |
| 2 | so |
| 3 | Therefore |
| 4 | Next |
| 5 | Otherwise |
| 6 | further on |
| 7 | In fact |

Transition words help connect ideas and improve flow in writing. They show relationships such as:
- Cause & Effect: because, so, therefore
- Sequence/Order: first, next, then, after
- Contrast: although, despite, however
- Addition/Emphasis: in fact, furthermore
- Condition/Result: otherwise, so, if
