What is the best purpose for using transitions in a research paper?

To emphasize the importance of each argument
To subtly hint at the conclusion of the paper
To introduce each new section of the paper
To signal the connections between related ideas

The correct answer is: To signal the connections between related ideas

Transitions are words or phrases that connect ideas and show the flow of the paper. Option A is incorrect because transitions are not used to emphasize the importance of each argument. Option B is incorrect because transitions do not hint at the conclusion, they simply connect ideas. Option C is incorrect because transitions do not only introduce new sections, but also connect ideas within each section. Option D is the best purpose for using transitions in a research paper as it ensures that the reader can easily follow the logical progression of the paper and understand the connections between ideas.
