which transition best completes the example sentence?
a. on the other hand
b. for example
c. in addition
d. as a result

Explanation:

The first part of the sentence states that Deena went to the movies instead of working on her biology project. The second part says she failed the assignment. There is a cause - effect relationship. "As a result" is used to show a consequence.

• "On the other hand" is for presenting an alternative or contrasting idea.
• "For example" is used to give an illustration.
• "In addition" is for adding more information. None of these fit the cause - effect relationship as well as "As a result".

Answer:

D. As a result
