To perform a quad axel, a figure skater must leap into the air and complete four and a half rotations

Question

To perform a quad axel, a figure skater must leap into the air and complete four and a half rotations before landing, an extreme feat. blank in 2022, when 17-year-old Ilia Malinin landed the first quad axel—considered the most difficult quad jump—in a high-level competition, the audience was left awestruck.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

Accepted Answer

Choice B is the best answer. "Fittingly" logically signals that the information in this sentence-that the audience was amazed when Malinin landed the first quad axel-describes a suitable or appropriate reaction to the completion of this extremely difficult jump. Choice A is incorrect. "Moreover" illogically signals that the information in this sentence merely adds to the previous information about the difficulty of completing a quad axel. Instead, the audience&rsquo;s amazement is a suitable or appropriate reaction to this accomplishment. Choice C is incorrect. "Next" illogically signals that the information in this sentence is simply the next step in a process. Instead, the audience&rsquo;s amazement is a suitable or appropriate reaction to the accomplishment. Choice D is incorrect. "However" illogically signals that the information in this sentence is in contrast or an exception to the difficulty of completing a quad axel. Instead, the audience&rsquo;s amazement is a suitable or appropriate reaction to this accomplishment.
