readingWhich 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.
- Context clues: The text describes steps in a process (first mix, then wait, then discard/add).
- Meaning: Sequential steps use "next," "then," "afterward," "subsequently."
- 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.
