8
which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
a of course,
b fittingly,
c finally,
d secondly,

Explanation:

To determine the logical transition, we analyze the relationship between the two sentences. The first sentence states Delatour's argument about moral decisions being guided by social instincts. The second sentence adds that his notes show these instincts operate unconsciously. "Fittingly" implies that the second statement is a fitting or appropriate extension of the first, as the idea of instincts operating unconsciously aligns with them guiding decisions (since unconscious operation would support them guiding without rational deliberation). "Of course" would imply obviousness, but the second idea isn't just an obvious follow - up. "Finally" implies a last point, but there's no indication of a sequence ending. "Secondly" implies a list of points, but the second sentence isn't a second point in a list - it's a related detail. So "Fittingly" is the most logical.

Answer:

B. Fittingly
