Read the paragraph. forests are more than just a pretty addition to the landscape. forests the environment by soaking up carbon dioxide, conserving soil, and preventing flooding. forests people by providing a place to live and by providing jobs. over 300 million people worldwide live in forests, and over 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their jobs. which best revises a sentence from the paragraph by adding an appropriate transition? similarly, forests are more than just a pretty addition to the landscape. for example, forests the environment by soaking up carbon dioxide, conserving soil, and preventing flooding. however, forests people by providing a place to live and by providing jobs. to summarize, over 300 million people worldwide live in forests, and over 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their jobs.

The correct answer is B. For example, forests help the environment by soaking up carbon dioxide, conserving soil, and preventing flooding.

Explanation:

In writing, a transition refers to a word or set of words used to connect different section of sentences, sentences, and even paragraph. There are many types of transitions including transitions of orders such as first, second; transitions of addition such as also; transitions of contrast such as however, etc. each used in different cases and with different purposes. In the case of the text presented the sentence that would have a correct transition if added is "For example, forests help the environment by soaking up carbon dioxide, conserving soil, and preventing flooding", because this sentence exemplifies the sentence " Forests are more than just a pretty addition to the landscape" and therefore the use of this transition is appropriate and would make the text clearer.

Also, other options are incorrect, the use of "similarly" in the first sentence is incorrect because there is not a previous sentence or content that be compared, similarly the use of "however" in sentence "forests help people by providing a place to live and by providing jobs" is incorrect because this is a contrast transition and in this case there is not a contrast in the sentence and in the case of the final sentence using "to summarize" is also incorrect because this sentence is not summarizing the content of the paragraph.
