Q34

________, the situation has completely transformed over the past few years.

  1. (a) Somewhat
  2. (b) Believably
  3. (c) ThusCorrect answer
  4. (d) Predominantly

Solution.

Answer: (c) Thus

  1. “Thus” introduces a result or conclusion and naturally connects to the complete clause.
  2. “Somewhat” does not work naturally as a detached modifier here and conflicts with “completely”; the other adverbs do not express the needed logical connection.
