Question

many cities are investing in building more public green spaces, such as parks and community gardens. these areas provide residents with opportunities for recreation and relaxation. ______ green spaces help to improve local air quality by absorbing pollutants.

which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

choose 1 answer:

a instead,

b specifically,

c additionally,

d as a result,

Explanation:

The first part of the text talks about green spaces providing recreation and relaxation. The second part talks about them improving air quality. These are two additional benefits of green spaces, so we need a transition that shows adding another point. "Instead" is for contrast, "Specifically" is for elaborating a detail, "As a result" is for cause - effect. "Additionally" is used to add more information, which fits here.

Answer:

C. Additionally,
