The correct statement is: "Transitions connect ideas for the reader."
Transitions are words, phrases, or sentences that help connect ideas within a piece of writing or between different paragraphs. They provide a smooth flow and coherence to the text by showing the relationship between ideas and guiding the reader through the logical progression of the content. Transitions can be found at various points in a sentence, not just at the end. They can appear at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence, depending on the writer's intention. It is important to choose appropriate transitions that effectively convey the writer's message and avoid using transitions that can make the writing unclear to the reader. Topic sentences, on the other hand, are used to introduce the main idea of a paragraph and are not the same as transitions.
