Question

What best explains why a written argument without transitions might not work?

The relationship between the examples and the conclusion would be unclear and hard to understand.
The relationship between ideas would lack the appropriate emphasis and logical flow.
The relationship between the claim, reasons, and evidence would be too vague and wouldn’t make sense.
The relationship between different parts of the argument would be unclear and hard to follow.

Answer 1

"The relationship between different parts of the argument would be unclear and hard to follow."

Transitions link claims, reasons, evidence, and examples so readers can see how each part supports the others; without them the argument loses coherence and becomes difficult to follow.
