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?
- A. However,
- B. In addition,Correct
- C. Therefore,
- 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.
