ACT Question of the Day Explained – February 6, 2014 – English, Transitions

baseballToday’s ACT question of the day wants us to add a sentence to the passage about baseball we saw recently.

The preceding sentence (the sentence before box 6) says:

Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Roberto Clemente—names like these will echo through time that are trumpet calls to storied battles fought and won in ages past.

The next (subsequent) sentence compares Hank Aaron to a legendary knight. 

So, the ideal transitional sentence will tell us that the baseball heroes somehow connected the past to the present, because the previous sentence is about the past and the next sentence is about the present.

F does exactly that!  “These heroes of baseball embodied the ancient legends, bringing them to life.”

Be ruthless when judging correct answers for these questions about transitions – hold out for the very best choice, and answer the question in your head before you look at the answer choices.
