readingWhich choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
A
Therefore,
B
Still,
C
Similarly,
D
Indeed,
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. This question tests concession transitions.
- Context clues: The first sentence presents a benefit; the second presents a remaining concern despite that benefit.
- Meaning: Concession transitions (still, nevertheless, yet) acknowledge one point while raising another.
- Verify: "Still, the environmental impact... remains a serious concern" concedes the benefit but raises a concern.
💡 Strategy: Use concession transitions when acknowledging one point while presenting a counterpoint or concern (still, yet, nevertheless).
Choice A is incorrect because "Therefore" shows cause-effect. Choice C is incorrect because "Similarly" shows agreement. Choice D is incorrect because "Indeed" emphasizes agreement.
