Question

question 11 (2.5 points)
______ logically and smoothly connects ideas within a paragraph or essay.
○ convenience
○ coherence
○ composting
○ composing

question 12 (2.5 points)
which of the following would not support a coherent paragraph?
○ ensuring each sentence relates to the main idea
○ repeating the same idea multiple times
○ using transitions to connect ideas

Explanation:

Question 11

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Convenience" refers to ease, not connecting ideas.
• "Coherence" is defined as the logical and smooth connection of ideas in writing.
• "Composting" is related to organic matter decomposition, irrelevant here.
• "Composing" is about creating (like a song or essay) but not specifically about connecting ideas.

We analyze what supports a coherent paragraph:

• "Ensuring each sentence relates to the main idea" helps coherence by keeping focus.
• "Repeating the same idea multiple times" (without development) does not support coherence as it's redundant, not adding to logical flow.
• "Using transitions to connect ideas" directly supports coherence by linking thoughts.

Answer:

B. Coherence
