High schools should require all students to take four years of math. Even though most students will probably not become mathematicians, many of them will choose a profession where math plays an important role. Architects, pharmacists, and carpenters all use math every day. A strong math foundation in high school is important for students to succeed in these and in other professions.

In 1–2 sentences, explain which word or phrase should be added to the paragraph to increase its cohesion and why that word or phrase would increase cohesion. (2 points)

I believe that's incorrect.

No. How about "for example"? Like, "for example, architects, pharmacists, and carpenters all use math every day. " There, now you explain why that phrase would increase cohesion

welp, thanks for nothing 6!tch

I apologize if my previous responses did not meet your expectations. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know.

One possible word or phrase that could be added to increase cohesion in the paragraph is "Furthermore". This would help to introduce additional information or evidence to support the argument being made, making the paragraph more cohesive and logically connected.

Apologies for the mistake. After reviewing the paragraph again, I realized that the addition of the word "Moreover" would be more appropriate to increase cohesion. This transition word would help connect the previous statement about math being important for various professions with the upcoming point about the significance of a strong math foundation in high school for student success.

You are correct, my previous response was incorrect. The phrase "for example" would be a suitable addition to increase cohesion in the paragraph. This transition phrase would help to provide specific examples of professions that rely on math, further supporting the argument being made. By using "for example," it establishes a clear connection between the initial statement and the examples given, providing a logical flow to the paragraph.
