Read this passage about seals and sea lions and then answer the question that follows: from a distance, they both look like seals, but once you get up close you can actually see the difference. seals and sea lions are both fish-loving mammals. moreover, handy flippers propel them both through the water. but while seals have a tiny opening on the side of their heads, sea lions have actual earflaps. furthermore, sea lions use their back flippers like feet to scoot along the beach. on the other hand, seals must wriggle and roll to get ahead. on the whole, when you visit a zoo or theme park, it's the honking, barking, funny sea lion you're likely to find playing to the crowds for fishy treats, earflaps and all. in the passage about seals and sea lions, which transition is used to show a contrast? 1.but 2.furthermore 3.on the whole 4.moreover

4. Moreover

Explanation:

Transitions are used to focus on the relationships among the ideas. They are used to build a path on which the direction of the sentences wants the readers to go to. The ideas are connected logically with the help of the transitions. Logical arguments are placed which helps in signifying the propagated ideas. 'However', 'for example,' 'similarly', and 'moreover' are some of the examples of transitions.

In the given excerpt, the transition that has been used to add an idea is 'moreover'. The third sentence begins with 'moreover' which had introduced an additional thought about the seals and sea lions.

what passage

explanation:

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war
