Question

in 1815, while in exile in jamaica, venezuelan revolutionary simón bolívar penned a letter praising englands republican government and expressing hope that latin american nations seeking independence from spain might achieve something similar. the letter was addressed to a local merchant, henry cullen; _______ though, bolívars goal was to persuade political leaders from england and europe to support his cause. which choice completes the text with the most logical transition? choose 1 answer: a additionally, b ultimately, c accordingly, d consequently, 21 of 30

Explanation:

• "additionally" means "in addition" and is used to add more information of the same kind. But here, the second part is about the ultimate goal, not just an additional point.
• "ultimately" means "finally, in the end". The letter was addressed to a local merchant, but finally (ultimately) Bolívar's goal was to persuade political leaders. This shows the end - goal relation.
• "accordingly" means "in a way that is appropriate to the particular circumstances". There is no indication of an appropriate action based on previous circumstances here.
• "consequently" means "as a result". There is no cause - effect relationship shown in the text.

Answer:

B. ultimately
