Expression of Ideas practice question

The community center offers free admission to all its exhibits. ____, it hosts weekly art workshops that are open to the public at no charge.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

  1. A. However,
  2. B. In addition,Correct
  3. C. Therefore,
  4. D. Instead,

Answer: B. In addition,

The second sentence adds another free offering to the first. 'In addition' signals that the writer is stacking a similar point. The ideas don't conflict, so 'However' and 'Instead' are wrong.

Why the other answers are wrong

A. However,
"However" signals a conflict, but free exhibits and free workshops are two versions of the same point, not opposing ones.
C. Therefore,
"Therefore" claims that free admission to exhibits causes the free workshops; the second sentence just adds another free offering rather than resulting from the first.
D. Instead,
"Instead" replaces one idea with an alternative, but the center does both — offers free exhibits *and* free workshops.
