Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
- A. Next,Correct
- B. Nonetheless,
- C. Specifically,
- D. In conclusion,
Answer: A. Next,
The passage describes steps in order: 'first' removed the varnish, then filled the cracks. 'Next' continues the sequence.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Nonetheless,
- 'Nonetheless' signals a contrast with what came before, but filling cracks doesn't contradict removing varnish.
- C. Specifically,
- 'Specifically' narrows down the previous point. Filling cracks isn't a more specific version of removing varnish; it's a separate step.
- D. In conclusion,
- 'In conclusion' ends a discussion, but the passage is describing an ongoing procedure.
