Language Arts第 4 / 120 题
Select the best transition word to complete the sentence: 'The report was thorough; ______, it failed to suggest any solutions.'
a.therefore
b.because
c.similarly
d.however
解析
The two clauses contrast a strength with a weakness, so a contrasting transition like 'however' fits. 'Therefore' and 'because' show cause, and 'similarly' shows comparison. Matching the transition to the logical relationship is key to coherent writing.
