Explanation:

Question 12

The question is about types of transitions in writing (likely from a video). Option C (Quote, detail, summary) aligns with common transition types in writing, while others like A (Fact, opinion, summary) mix fact/opinion which aren't typical transition types, B (Fact, indirect quote, partial quote) focuses on quotes not general transitions, and D (Hook, lead, closer) are parts of an essay structure not transitions.

A fact transition should be a fact that moves the story. Option A is "made - up" (not fact), C is random (not fact - based), D is opinion (not fact). So B (A fact inserted to move the story along) is correct.

Attribution for fact transitions: If a fact needs credit (even clear facts sometimes need it, but the best answer here is B. Always, even for clear facts? Wait, no—actually, attribution is needed when the fact is from a source. But among options, B says "Always, even for clear facts" which is the most accurate as facts from sources need attribution. A is wrong (attribution is about source, not certainty), C is wrong (attribution is needed for sourced facts), D is wrong (not just when teacher asks).

Answer:

C. Quote, detail, summary
