What is the purpose of a transition sentence?

To introduce a new paragraph
To create a logical flow between ideas
To restate the main point
To provide the reader with an overview of the essay

The correct answer is: To create a logical flow between ideas

A transition sentence is used to connect two ideas together, creating a logical flow between them. It helps the reader follow along with the writer’s thoughts and ideas, making the text easier to understand. Option A is incorrect because a transition sentence does not necessarily always introduce a new paragraph. It can also be used within a paragraph to smoothly transition between ideas. Option C is incorrect because restating the main point is more commonly done in a concluding sentence rather than a transition sentence. Option D is incorrect because an overview of the essay is typically provided in the introduction, not in a transition sentence within the body of the essay.
