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.

In the passage about seals and sea lions, which transition is used to add an idea?

However
Moreover
On the whole
While

Answer 1

well what do you think is the answer?

Answer 2

Hm, well, in the passage given, which of the transition words from the list do you see in the reading? Also, we can eliminate option A because `however` is going to be used for joining compound sentences, or saying something opposite. For example, "the class favorite was pizza; however, a few students wanted ice cream." In this scenario, it doesn't really make sense to use "While" to introduce another idea. So then from B and C, which do you think? Again, look in the passage and which one of those 2 do you see?
