This question tests the use of transitions and cohesive devices in AP Japanese spoken presentations, crucial for clear and coherent communication. Transitions like そして, それから, and cohesive devices such as 例えば are used to connect ideas smoothly, guide the listener through the argument, and enhance the overall flow of the presentation. In this debate, the speaker acknowledges a long duration while stating benefits. Choice B is correct because it accurately identifies the use of 確かに as a way to concede a point before adding more, which is essential for maintaining coherence. Choice A is incorrect because it suggests using その結果, which would indicate result instead of concession and disrupt the logical flow and confuse the listener. To help students: Encourage practice with various cohesive devices in context, highlighting their effects. Use exercises that require selecting appropriate transitions for different scenarios. Watch for: over-reliance on familiar transitions without considering logical fit.

This question tests the use of transitions and cohesive devices in AP Japanese spoken presentations, crucial for clear and coherent communication. Transitions like そして, それから, and cohesive devices such as 例えば are used to connect ideas smoothly, guide the listener through the argument, and enhance the overall flow of the presentation. In this education debate scenario, overusing しかし creates confusion by suggesting contrasts where they may not exist, making the argument difficult to follow. Choice A is correct because it provides a balanced approach: using そして for additional points and reserving しかし for genuine contrasts, which creates clarity and logical flow. Choice B is incorrect as using しかし uniformly would create artificial opposition between all points, destroying coherence. To help students: Analyze transcripts of debates highlighting transition variety and effectiveness. Create revision exercises where students replace repetitive transitions with more appropriate alternatives based on logical relationships.

This question tests the use of transitions and cohesive devices in AP Japanese spoken presentations, crucial for clear and coherent communication.

Choice C (しかし) might seem tempting but would create too strong a contrast when the speaker is simply moving to the next planned topic. To help students: Teach the difference between structural transitions (moving between sections) and logical transitions (showing relationships between ideas). Practice outlining presentations with clear section markers.
