The team first mapped the cave's main passage. ____ they explored the side chambers, which turned out to be far more extensive than the passage itself.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
- A. Afterwards,Correct
- B. Nonetheless,
- C. For example,
- D. In summary,
Answer: A. Afterwards,
'first' in the opening sentence sets up a sequence. 'Afterwards' carries it to the next stage.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Nonetheless,
- 'Nonetheless' signals a contrast with what came before, but exploring the chambers doesn't oppose mapping the passage.
- C. For example,
- Exploring side chambers isn't an example of mapping the main passage.
- D. In summary,
- 'In summary' introduces a wrap-up; the second sentence is a new event, not a summary.
