Rule reminder
A cohesive text uses reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion to link sentences smoothly. A non-cohesive text has: unnecessary repetition of full noun phrases where pronouns would work; inconsistent reference (unclear what a pronoun refers to); abrupt topic shifts without signals; overuse of demonstratives; missing connectives. At B2 level, being able to identify and correct cohesion problems is essential for writing.
Which version demonstrates better B2-level cohesion? (A) 'La coesione è importante. È necessaria per la comprensione. Essa garantisce la continuità. Essa lega le frasi.' (B) 'La coesione è fondamentale per la comprensione: essa garantisce la continuità e lega le frasi tra loro.'
