Read the excerpt from a student’s essay.Eventually, Rainsford tires from the chase. He finds himself at the edge of the island, high on a cliff, looking out at the sea below. Behind him, Zaroff is quickly approaching with the hounds. _________, Rainsford knows he has run out of choices and is trapped. Rainsford, however, has not reconciled himself with the idea of being shot by Zaroff or torn to pieces by his hounds. Before Zaroff reaches him, Rainsford leaps into the sea.
“Clearly” introduces a conclusion readers can draw from the situation: Rainsford is at the cliff’s edge, with Zaroff and the hounds closing in behind him, so he knows he is trapped. “For instance” would introduce an example, and “In addition” would add another point rather than state this conclusion.
