Question

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.

Answer 1

Answer: D. 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.
