Question

In November 1934, Amrita Sher-Gil was living in what must have seemed like the ideal city for a young artist: Paris. She was studying firsthand the color-saturated style of France’s modernist masters and beginning to make a name for herself as a painter. blank Sher-Gil longed to return to her childhood home of Pakistan; only there, she believed, could her art truly flourish.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is the best answer. &ldquo;Still&rdquo; logically signals that the information about Sher-Gil in this sentence-that she longed to leave Paris and return to Pakistan-contrasts with what one would expect after reading about Sher-Gil&rsquo;s experiences in Paris in the previous sentences. Choice B is incorrect because &ldquo;therefore&rdquo; illogically signals that the information about Sher-Gil in this sentence is a result or consequence of the descriptions in the previous sentences. Instead, this information contrasts with what one would expect after reading about Sher-Gil&rsquo;s experiences in Paris. Choice C is incorrect because &ldquo;indeed&rdquo; illogically signals that the information about Sher-Gil in this sentence offers additional emphasis in support of the descriptions in the previous sentences. Instead, this information contrasts with what one would expect after reading about Sher-Gil&rsquo;s experiences in Paris. Choice D is incorrect because &ldquo;furthermore&rdquo; illogically signals that the information about Sher-Gil in this sentence offers additional support for or confirmation of the descriptions in the previous sentences. Instead, this information contrasts with what one would expect after reading about Sher-Gil&rsquo;s experiences in Paris.
