Q31

________, the problem is nothing but a wrong assumption about processes.

  1. (a) In the meanwhile
  2. (b) Somewhat
  3. (c) Engagingly
  4. (d) In other wordsCorrect answer

Solution.

Answer: (d) In other words

  1. “In other words” introduces a restatement or explanation.
  2. The phrase “nothing but a wrong assumption” reduces the problem to its underlying explanation, so this marker fits best.
  3. “Somewhat” and “engagingly” do not connect the thought, and a meanwhile phrase would require a temporal contrast.
