 Logically, two clear alternatives are possible: ... P and Q.
 Several possibilities/ Two hypotheses ... can (might) explain these effects;
first, P.
 There is a good reason to think/ One would tend to think ... that P
 My hypothesis for the mechanism of P ... suggests that Q/ is that Q.
 What I am proposing ... is that P be considered in relation to Q.
 Based on/ Given that Q, ... I propose that P can be interpreted as a function/ can
be described by R.
•  We can explain the effect/ process if we assume ... that P.
 We have sufficient ground to assume ... that P
 The key to explaining the effect/ process/ mechanism/property ... may lie in P.
 The existence of this process ... may explain the meaning of dreams in human
beings.
 A much more direct reason ... explains why the waterwheel languished in
ancient times: P.
 It is/ seems (quite) logical/ reasonable/ safe ... (to assume) that Р/ to ask whether
P.
 In the light of P it is likely (probable/ definite)/ it seems (would/ might seem) ...
that Q
 Given (the notion/ limitation/ fact) that P, ... we can explain Q/the conclusion is
evident.
 Given that/ this, ... we have to stand the consequences of P
...we can extend the interpretation P to Q
•  The revision ... is based on the discovery of P.
 The topology of P ... can be deduced from its structure.
 The existence of such objects ... can be deduced from measurements.
 It is important/ necessary ... to test the plausibility of our proposals/ suggestions/
hypotheses/ ideas
•  P ... seems an irrelevant feature (to be acting as/ to be rich in Q)/ could be
handled as Q
... can be extended to take account of Q/ could be a reason for the change in Q.
... probably represents the earlier stages of Q/ presumably results from differences
in Q
... s apparently even more unrelated to (correlated with) R than Q.
... rather supports this evidence/might already exist in the form of Q.
... must have been developed out of/ is perhaps a symptom of Q.
•  This property ... is thought to be ... a defining property of P.
 Calcium ... is thought to act ... as a second messenger.
 This variability/ trend ... presumably/ probably ... results from (differences in) P.
 This element ... appears (not) to be ... contrastive with the element P.
 Gene synthesis ... may never be ... an absolutely reliable process.
 Instances ... may be recognized ... by such characteristics as P.
 Such processes ... are often ... connected with P.
 Such modifications ... are normally ... the result of natural forces.
 Our results ... appear ... to rule out the simplest version of the scenario.
