Question

1. choose the answer that best completes the sentence below.

roosevelt established several government programs, _______ the tennessee valley authority, the works progress administration, and the civilian conservation corps.

a. including
b. instead
c. in conclusion
d. meanwhile

Explanation:

To complete the sentence, we analyze the options:

• Option A: "including" is used to introduce examples of the government programs Roosevelt established, which fits the context as the listed programs are examples of the "several government programs".
• Option B: "instead" implies a replacement, which doesn't make sense here as the listed programs are part of, not a replacement for, the several programs.
• Option C: "in conclusion" is used to summarize, but the sentence is listing examples, not summarizing.
• Option D: "meanwhile" indicates a simultaneous action, which is not relevant to the relationship between the general statement and the listed examples.

Answer:

A. including
