25 □ mark for review
which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
(a) consequently,
(b) of course,
(c) additionally,
(d) in fact,

Explanation:

The first part of the text talks about public transport systems being underfunded/poorly designed leading to inadequate service. The next part adds another issue (aging infrastructure, deferred maintenance) that affects commuters. "Additionally" is used to add another related point. "Consequently" implies a result, but the second sentence isn't a result of the first. "Of course" and "In fact" don't fit the context of adding another problem.

Answer:

C. Additionally,
