Question

1. ramsey has used an inappropriate transition at the beginning of sentence 31. which word or phrase should replace comparatively in this sentence?

• otherwise
• in any event
• furthermore
• as a result

Explanation:

To determine the correct replacement for "Comparatively", we analyze the function of each option. "Otherwise" suggests a contrast or alternative, "In any event" means regardless of circumstances, "Furthermore" is used to add more information (similar to continuing a thought), and "As a result" shows a cause - effect relationship. Since "Comparatively" (used for comparison) is inappropriate, and if the context of sentence 31 is about adding more details or continuing an idea, "Furthermore" is the most logical choice among the options as it is a transitional word for adding information, while the others don't fit the likely context of a transition that should continue or add to the previous thought.

Answer:

C. Furthermore (assuming the options are labeled A - D with A as Otherwise, B as In any event, C as Furthermore, D as As a result)
