When marking key parts of passages that contain transitional words like "although," "nevertheless," or "correspondingly," it is important to circle them. Transitional words are crucial in signaling shifts in the author's thinking or the structure of the passage. By circling them, you can easily identify these transitions and understand how they contribute to the progression of ideas within the text. This technique helps in grasping the overall flow of the passage and aids in answering questions related to the author's argument or viewpoint.

The other options (underlining them, highlighting them, boxing them) can be less effective because they may not specifically target these transitional words for focused attention. Circling the transitional words directly emphasizes their significance in guiding the reader through the passage's logic and reasoning.
