EXXCEL

Reading and Writing Module 2 (Hard) Question 25

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

Explanation

Due to the harmful effects of pollutants emitted by conventional fuel vehicles, automotive manufacturers are increasingly turning to eco-friendly energy sources. Consequently, well-known automakers such as BMW, Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda are actively investing in the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology, a new alternative that uses hydrogen as the primary fuel source.

Choice A is the best answer. “Consequently” logically signals that the claim in this sentence (automakers are investing in the development of hydrogen fuel cell technology) is a consequence of the claim made in the previous sentence that automotive manufactures are turning to eco-friendly energy sources due to the harmful effects of pollutants from fuel vehicles.

Choice B: “Similarly” illogically signals that the information about automakers investing in hydrogen fuel cell technology is similar to the previous statement rather than a consequence of the information provided.

Choice C: “Nevertheless” illogically introduces a contrasting idea or concession instead of providing consequences of the previous statement about automotive manufacturers turning to eco-friendly energy sources.

Choice D: “Subsequently” illogically signals that the information in this sentence occurs later in a chronological sequence of events than the claim made in the preceding sentence.

✨ Expert's Tip ✨

  • Identify the main idea of the text: automotive manufacturers investing in eco-friendly energy sources.
  • Find a relationship between the text’s ideas: consequence of a previous claim.
  • Choose an appropriate transition word to match the relationship: consequently.
