Which of the following is an example of a cohesive device used to link ideas?

• A. For example
• B. Employer and employee
• C. Content schemata
• D. Connotation

Answer: (A)

Cohesion in writing comes from devices that link ideas across sentences. "For example" functions as a cohesive device because it signals that what follows will illustrate or support the point just made, creating a clear connection between claim and example and helping the reader see how the ideas relate. The other options aren’t linking tools: "employer and employee" is simply naming a relationship, not signaling a move in the argument; "content schemata" refers to the reader’s background knowledge used to interpret text, not a connector; "connotation" is about implied meaning, not a tool that ties sentences together.
