ABSTRACT
Study the use of conjunctions in signposting the following paragraph.
The Brazilian coast was hit by a strange storm in March 2004. It moved inland at speeds of over 150 k.p.h. Ã and caused considerable damage. Named Catarina, this storm behaved like a hurricane X but could not have been one. This was Ô because hurricanes do not occur in the South Atlantic. X However, Catarina was not an ordinary tropical storm Ô since it had a hurricane ‘eye’ and was of hurricane strength. 6 After checking their records, meteorologists decided that Catarina really was a hurricane, the first ever recorded in the region. Their research suggests that sea temperatures are rising rapidly, Ö thereby developing enough energy to cause hurricanes.
