Question

My interest in old public libraries has led me to seek them out whenever we visit a new part of the United States. blank we could visit every state in the US and still not find the oldest public library in the Western Hemisphere. That library, the Biblioteca Palafoxiana, is loed in Puebla, Mexico.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

Accepted Answer

Choice B is the best answer. "Nevertheless" logically signals that the claim in the sentence-that the speaker could visit every state in the US and not find the oldest public library in the Western Hemisphere-is true despite the previous claim about the speaker seeking out old public libraries. Choice A is incorrect because "as a result" illogically signals that the claim in the sentence is a consequence of the previous claim about the speaker seeking out old public libraries. Instead, the claim is true despite the previous claim. Choice C is incorrect because "earlier" illogically signals that the claim in the sentence occurs earlier in a chronological sequence of events than the previous claim about the speaker seeking out old public libraries. Instead, the claim is true despite the previous claim. Choice D is incorrect because "in other words" illogically signals that the claim in the sentence is merely a paraphrase or restatement of the previous claim about the speaker seeking out old public libraries. Instead, the claim is true despite the previous claim.
