Which of the following would be an example of explanatory writing that lacks cohesion?

Question

A. Complex ideas in the text have many explanations and details.
B. The similarities and differences between ideas are unclear.
C. Complex ideas are linked with more than one transition word.
D. The body paragraphs all discuss ideas that were already brought up in the introduction.

Answer 1

B. The similarities and differences between ideas are unclear.

This option indicates a lack of cohesion, as cohesive writing should clearly outline how ideas relate to one another, including their similarities and differences. If these connections are unclear, the writing fails to provide a cohesive understanding for the reader.
