All things considered

On several occasions
Surprisingly

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) surprisingly.

In the passage about the least weasel, the transition that is used to summarize an idea is "surprisingly."

The part of the text where we find the transition is: "The least weasel is the world's smallest carnivore. Despite its size, it is surprisingly fierce. Its bravery and hunting skills are well documented."

This term helps the reader understand that despite the small size of the least weasel, it is a brave animal that has astonishing hunting capcities never imagined just by judging its size.

Answer 2

All things considered, is the transition used to summarize an idea in the passage about the least weasel.

A transition is a linguistic term that refers to a word that joins two parts of a text and gives it a logical relationship with the sentences that follow.

According to the above, the transition used to summarize the idea presented is All things considered (option A) because it synthesizes all the information logically and simply in the final part of the text with one phrase It may just be the toughest predator on land.

On the other hand, expressions such as surprinsingly or on several occasions help the author explain the main idea but do not summarize or rephrase the previous information.
