25 mark for review
which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
a indeed,
b nevertheless,
c furthermore,
d by the same token,

Explanation:

The first part of the text talks about the Mezzani X - 8 circuit being celebrated for reducing power draw, and the second part mentions its rollout faced a six - month delay. There is a contrast between the positive aspect (celebrated) and the negative aspect (delay). "Nevertheless" is used to show a contrast or a contradictory situation. "Indeed" is used to emphasize or confirm, "furthermore" is for adding more information, and "by the same token" is for showing a similar situation. So "nevertheless" is the most logical transition.

Answer:

B. nevertheless,
