Reading and Writing Module 2 (Easy) Question 26

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
Answer:
D

Explanation

Tash Sultana is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Australia who rose to fame after a busking video of their song “Jungle” went viral. The video has been viewed over 40 million times, ultimately leading to Sultana being awarded the Triple J’s J Award for Unearthed Artist of the Year. Additionally, two of their songs were voted into the Triple J Hottest 100, placing ‘Jungle’ at number 3 and ‘Notion’ at number 32.

Choice D is the best answer. “Additionally” logically signals that the information in this sentence—that two of Tash Sultana’s songs were voted into the Triple J Hottest 100—is in addition to the claim made in the previous sentence about Sultana being awarded the Triple J’s J Award for Unearthed Artist of the year.

Choice A: “Actually” illogically implies a contradiction or correction of information instead of providing additional information to the claim made in the previous sentence.

Choice B: “Nonetheless” illogically signals a contradiction between the previous and following sentence instead of providing additional information to the claim made in the previous sentence.

Choice C: “Nevertheless” illogically introduces a contrasting idea or concession instead of providing additional information to the claim made in the previous sentence.

✨ Expert's Tip ✨

  • Identify the main idea of the text: Tash Sultana’s achievements after the song “Jungle” went viral.
  • Find a relationship between the text’s ideas: present an additional information.
  • Choose an appropriate transition word to match the relationship: additionally.
