Nina's extensive collection of novels spans various genres and time periods, allowing her to indulge in a wide range of literary works. _______, she often seeks book recommendations from friends and family to expand her reading list even further. Which choice most logically completes the text? a) Therefore, b) In addition, c) On the contrary, d) Nevertheless, The most coherent choice to complete this text is 'In addition', as it highlights another way in which Nina pursues her passion for reading, complementing the information about her existing collection. The remaining options, 'Therefore', 'On the contrary,' and 'Nevertheless,' do not effectively convey an expansion on the presented theme: 'Therefore' suggests a conclusion or cause-effect relationship, while both 'On the contrary' and 'Nevertheless' introduce opposing viewpoints or contradiction. 2 / 5 2. Organic farming methods have been gaining popularity worldwide due to their environmentally friendly practices, such as composting and crop rotation. _______, organically produced foods tend to command higher prices in the market, deterring some consumers from adopting fully organic diets. Which choice most logically completes the text? a) As a result, b) Similarly, c) Nonetheless, d) For this reason, 'Nonetheless' is the most suitable option, as it presents a contrasting point (higher prices of organic foods) to the previous information about the growing popularity of organic farming. The other choices — 'Similarly,' 'As a result,' and 'For this reason' — do not create the necessary contrast: 'Similarly' implies agreement, 'As a result' suggests a cause-effect relationship, and 'For this reason' also denotes a causal link. 3 / 5 3. Solar energy is a promising and sustainable source of renewable power, capable of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. _______, ongoing research and development efforts aim to improve solar panel efficiency and decrease production costs, making this energy source more accessible for the general population. Which choice most logically completes the text? a) On the other hand, b) As a result, c) In turn, d) Once again, 'As a result' is the optimal choice for this context because it establishes a cause-effect relationship between the strengths of solar energy and the continued research and development endeavors to enhance its potential. The other options — 'On the other hand,' 'In turn,' and 'Once again' — do not effectively denote this relationship: 'On the other hand' introduces contrast, 'In turn' conveys a sequential or reciprocal effect, and 'Once again' repeats a previous statement or occurrence. 4 / 5 4. While daily physical exercise has undoubtedly been shown to improve overall health and well-being, its impact on mental health should not be underestimated. ______, recent studies have found that incorporating regular physical activity can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Which choice most logically completes the text? a) Regardless, b) On the other hand, c) Despite, d) In fact, 'In fact' is the best choice because it conveys that the following information supports and emphasizes the role of exercise in mental health. The other alternatives, 'On the other hand,' 'Despite,' and 'Regardless,' do not aptly communicate the reinforcing nature of the following statement: 'On the other hand' suggests contrast, 'Despite' indicates opposition, and 'Regardless' implies that the following statement is true in spite of something else. 5 / 5 5. While some studies have shown that moderate amounts of dark chocolate may offer health benefits, such as improved heart health and antioxidant effects, it is important to consume it in moderation. ______, overindulging in dark chocolate can negate these potential benefits due to its high-calorie content and added sugars. Which choice most logically completes the text? a) Otherwise, b) Similarly, c) In conclusion, d) For this reason, The most appropriate completing choice in this instance is 'Otherwise,' as it conveys the consequence of exceeding moderate consumption of dark chocolate. The other alternatives — 'Similarly,', 'In conclusion,', and 'For this reason' — do not express the intended cause-effect relationship: 'Similarly' indicates agreement between two notions, 'In conclusion' marks the end of a discussion, and 'For this reason' introduces a justification for a preceding statement.
