Question

1. read the passage.

it was quite warm that noontime, even hot, so we were ready to go cool off and get some lunch. however, our daughter did not appear as the crowd of young people streamed out of the theater, and we wondered where she was.
which word or phrase provides a transition between the two sentences?
○ as the crowd of young people streamed
○ we wondered
○ our daughter
○ however

Explanation:

To determine the transition word, we analyze the relationship between the two sentences. The first sentence describes being ready to cool off and get lunch, while the second introduces a contrast (daughter not appearing). "However" is a conjunction used to show contrast or a shift in thought, making it the transition word. The other options are either part of a clause, a subject, or a verb phrase, not serving as a transition.

Answer:

D. However
