Expression of Ideas practice question
Community gardens give city residents a place to grow fresh vegetables. ____ they turn neglected lots into green spaces that neighbours actually use.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
- A. In addition,Correct
- B. Nevertheless,
- C. Otherwise,
- D. Instead,
Answer: A. In addition,
The second sentence adds a second benefit of community gardens to the first. 'In addition' stacks one point on another.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Nevertheless,
- 'Nevertheless' signals a contrast, but both sentences praise community gardens.
- C. Otherwise,
- 'Otherwise' means 'if not' — it would imply the green spaces happen only if the vegetables don't, which makes no sense.
- D. Instead,
- 'Instead' replaces one thing with another. The second benefit doesn't replace the first; it joins it.
