Question 9 • GA-Literature and Composition III A

Which sentence makes the best use of a transitional word or phrase?

Answer
A
Math was interesting to me in high school; likewise, it is interesting to me in college.
B
Math was interesting to me in high school; otherwise, it is interesting to me in college.
C
Math was interesting to me in high school; for example, it is interesting to me in college.
D
Math was interesting to me in high school; in contrast, it is interesting to me in college.

Explanation

“Likewise” signals that the second idea is similar to the first: math was interesting in high school and remains interesting in college. “Otherwise” suggests a different or alternative result, “for example” introduces an example, and “in contrast” signals a difference, so those transitions do not fit the relationship between the two ideas.
