## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to choose the most logical transition for the given text. The text discusses the belief that the hull pieces found off Oregon's coast are from a Spanish cargo ship that was lost in 1697. The text also mentions that the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians have stories that support this belief.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The text then goes on to describe how blocks of beeswax, an item the ship had been carrying, began washing ashore after the ship was lost. This is a specific example that supports the belief mentioned in the text.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Given the context, we need a transition that introduces a specific example. The options are "For this reason", "For example", "However", and "Likewise,".<br /><br />## Step 4<br />"For this reason" is used to show cause and effect, which is not the case here. "However" is used to introduce a contrast or contradiction, which is also not the case here. "Likewise" is used to show similarity, which is not the case here.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />"For example" is used to introduce a specific example, which is the case here. The text is providing a specific example of how the belief is supported by the stories of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians.
