Identify the relationship type between the two sentences.  \n2. Pick the word that matches the correct type of relationship.  \na. Two answer choices in the same relationship category (i.e. thus and therefore) can be eliminated.  \nb. If the relationship between the sentences is already clear, no transition word is needed.  \nNote: This chart is not exhaustive, and there will be sentence types and words not mentioned. It focuses on the most common and/or tricky words and relationships.  \n\n| Relationship | Meaning | Example | Common Words/Phrases |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Addition | The second sentence builds off an idea stated in the first sentence. | I like flying because it is fast. Furthermore, it is a safe way to travel. | Also\u003Cbr>Besides\u003Cbr>By the same token Furthermore In addition Likewise Moreover Similarly |\n| Example | The first sentence is a statement or claim, and the second sentence provides an example or evidence of that claim. | The five biggest countries in the world have a lot of people in them. For example, India has a population of over 1.3 billion people! | For example\u003Cbr>For instance Namely Specifically |\n| Causation | The first sentence causes the second sentence to happen. | As a child, I always loved ballroom dancing. Accordingly, I now have a Youtube channel called “Ballroom Dancing for Kids”. | Accordingly As a result Consequently Hence Since Therefore Thus |\n| Purpose | An action in the second sentence is done for a reason provided in the first sentence. | I was sick today. For this reason, I did not go to school. | For this reason\u003Cbr>For this purpose To this end |\n\n| Contrast | The second sentence is surprising given something stated in the first sentence. | The Houston Astros cheated to win the 2017 World Series. However, the commissioner of baseball did not punish them for it. | Conversely Despite\u003Cbr>Even so However Nevertheless Nonetheless On the contrary Otherwise Regardless While |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Emphasis | The second sentence emphasizes a point or argument stated in the first sentence. | I love the TV show The Bachelor. In fact, I have watched all 24 seasons twice. | Indeed\u003Cbr>In fact Of course |\n| Concession | The second sentence concedes or qualifies something related toa point or argument stated in the first sentence. | The Declaration of Independence stated that “all men are created equal”.
