Question 3 (1 point)

A cup of weak coffee has about 80 milligrams of caffeine, or enough to
boost the heart rate and blood pressure. A cup of strong tea can have a
similar effect, for it, too, has about 80 milligrams of caffeine.
The comparison transition used is:
A

Answer 1

"Similar."

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given passage, a cup of strong and weak coffee is compared based on their effect and caffeine content. And in the two sentences, even though it is a comparison transition between a strong and weak coffee, the transition word used is "similar".

In both the sentences, the physical effects of coffee are compared, with the same result- "80 milligrams of caffeine or enough to boost a heart rate and blood pressure." This means that both a weak and strong cup of coffee have the same physical impact on a person.

Thus, the comparison transition used is "similar".
