Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

A

Conversely,

B

Overall,

C

Specifically,

D

Subsequently,

Correct Answer: B

Choice B is the best answer. This question tests summary transitions.

  1. Context clues: The first sentence lists specific factors; the second summarizes the general finding.
  2. Meaning: Summarizing uses "overall," "in summary," "to sum up."
  3. Verify: "Overall, the study found" draws a general conclusion from the specific details.

💡 Strategy: When drawing conclusions from details or summarizing, use summary transitions (overall, in summary, in short).

Choice A is incorrect because "Conversely" indicates opposition. Choice C is incorrect because "Specifically" would narrow down, not summarize. Choice D is incorrect because "Subsequently" indicates time sequence.
