How should an author transition between paragraphs?

  1. Using signposts

  2. By repeating the same words

  3. With rhetorical questions

  4. Through research summaries

The correct answer is: Using signposts

An author should transition between paragraphs with signposts because they help readers follow the flow of the text and understand the connections between ideas. Using the same words or repeating phrases can make the writing appear repetitive and lack variety. Rhetorical questions are more commonly used to engage readers and provoke thought, not transition between paragraphs. Research summaries are used to present evidence and support claims, not to transition between ideas. Therefore, none of the other options provide an effective way to transition between paragraphs like the use of signposts, making answer A the correct choice.
