Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
- A. Still,Correct
- B. As a result,
- C. For example,
- D. In other words,

Why the other answers are wrong
- B. As a result,
- 'As a result' would make the underrepresentation a consequence of the large enrolment. It's a limitation the size doesn't fix, not something the size caused.
- C. For example,
- 'For example' would present the caution as an example of the large enrolment.
- D. In other words,
- 'In other words' would make the caution a restatement of the trial's size.
