What is a major reason to use transitions between ideas while writing an essay?

To maintain a consistent formatting of the document
To show cause-and-effect relationships between two topics
To illustrate the relationships between the main idea and supporting evidence
To help the reader follow the logical progression of ideas

The correct answer is: To help the reader follow the logical progression of ideas

Transitions are used to connect one idea to another, helping the reader follow the logical progression of ideas. This allows for a smoother flow and makes it easier for the reader to understand the overall message of the essay. Option A is incorrect because transitions are not used for formatting purposes. Option B is incorrect because while transitions may show cause-and-effect relationships, that is not their main purpose. Option C is incorrect because transitions primarily connect ideas, not necessarily the main idea and supporting evidence specifically. Therefore, option D is the best answer as it accurately describes the main reason for using transitions in an essay.
