Answer 5

pstrompf, I DIDN'T know what a temporal transition is either, so I went to Wikipedia and looked it up--

Transitions are words or phrases that show the relationship between paragraphs or sections of a text or speech. Transitions provide greater cohesion by making it more explicit or signaling how ideas relate to one another. Transitions are "bridges" that "carry a reader from section to section."

Temporal transitions

To show frequency: frequently, hourly, often, occasionally, now and then, day after day, every so often, again and again

To show duration: during, briefly, for a long time, minute by minute, while

To show a particular time: now, then, at that time, in those days, last Sunday, next Christmas, in 1999, at the beginning of August, at six o’clock, first thing in the morning, two months ago, when,

To introduce a beginning: at first, in the beginning, since, before then

To introduce a middle: in the meantime, meanwhile, as it was happening, at that moment, at the same time, simultaneously, next, then

To signal an end (or beyond): eventually, finally, at last, in the end, later, afterward

Armed with this information, I'm ready to construct my paragraph.

Answer 8

You're entirely welcome, ams98. I actually had a bit of fun figuring it out--doing the detective work and then writing the "coded" message. (I mean that isn't the way I would have written it personally, but the assignment was a fun challenge.)
