This question is based on the following passage.
Both Seagulls and wild geese are large birds. They're also similar in that both kinds of birds can fly over great distances. On the other hand, seagulls are scavengers, while wild geese aren't. Seagulls, for example, are often found around garbage dumps. Geese, however, feed on things like seeds and insects. Another important difference between the two kinds of birds is that geese fly on long annual migrations of well over 1,000 miles. Seagulls will migrate far inland to search for food. However, they don't follow seasonal patterns of migration like wild geese.
4. Clue words showing that contrasts are being made in this paragraph include
A. both and difference.
B. and and similar.
C. also and hand.
D. while and however.
So what was the answer
D. while and however.
To find the clue words showing that contrasts are being made in the paragraph, it is important to understand what is being contrasted in the passage. The passage is comparing seagulls and wild geese, highlighting their similarities and differences.
Let's analyze the options:
A. "both" and "difference" - "both" indicates a similarity rather than a contrast, while "difference" highlights the difference between the two kinds of birds. This is not the best choice.
B. "and" and "similar" - "and" is a conjunction that shows a connection or addition of information, not necessarily a contrast. "similar" indicates a similarity rather than a contrast. Therefore, this is not the best choice.
C. "also" and "hand" - "also" is used to add more information, indicating a similarity rather than a contrast. "hand" does not indicate a contrast either. So, this is not the best choice.
D. "while" and "however" - "while" is a conjunction used to introduce a contrast or a difference between two ideas. "however" is used to introduce a contrasting or opposing idea. In this case, "while" and "however" clearly indicate contrasts between seagulls and wild geese. This is the correct choice.
Therefore, the answer is D. "while" and "however."
