Question

some members of the scientific community urge caution around the use of genetically modified (gm) crops, arguing that the long - term health effects of consuming such crops are unknown. ______ they are concerned about the environmental risks associated with gm crops, including their potential to disrupt natural ecosystems by displacing or cross - pollinating with wild plants.
which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
choose 1 answer:
a nevertheless,
b in comparison,
c for instance,
d additionally,

Explanation:

The first sentence presents one concern (long - term health effects) about GM crops. The second sentence presents another concern (environmental risks). We need a transition that shows an addition.

• “Nevertheless” indicates contrast, which is not the case here as both are concerns.
• “In comparison” is for showing similarities or differences between two things, not for adding another point.
• “For instance” is for giving an example, but the second concern is not an example of the first.
• “Additionally” is used to add another related point, which fits as we are adding another concern about GM crops.

Answer:

D. Additionally,
