Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

A

In conclusion,

B

Nevertheless,

C

Next,

D

For instance,

Correct Answer: C

Choice C is the best answer. This question tests sequence transitions.

  1. Context clues: The text describes steps in a process (first mix, then wait, then discard/add).
  2. Meaning: Sequential steps use "next," "then," "afterward," "subsequently."
  3. Verify: "Next, discard half" logically continues the sequence.

💡 Strategy: For step-by-step processes, use sequence transitions (first, next, then, finally).

Choice A is incorrect because "In conclusion" ends arguments, not mid-process steps. Choice B is incorrect because "Nevertheless" indicates contrast. Choice D is incorrect because "For instance" introduces examples.
