What type of sentence transitions are used to connect two sentences orparagraphs that relate to each other?

Subjective
Conjunctive
Discursive
Objective

The correct answer is: Conjunctive

Conjunctive transitions are used to connect two sentences or paragraphs that relate to each other by showing a correlation or logical relation between the ideas being presented. A conjunctive transition can be a single word or a phrase, such as "additionally", "in contrast", or "furthermore". The other options, subjective, discursive, and objective, are not types of transitions but rather describe the tone or purpose of the writing. Subjective language is based on personal opinions, discursive writing presents a logical argument and explores multiple perspectives, and objective language is based on facts and avoids personal opinions. Therefore, these options do not relate to the use of transitions in connecting sentences or paragraphs.
