Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

He and his family moved to another town. He , _________, changed schools. [Advanced]

• A. certainly
• B. rather
• C. partly
• D. therefore

Answer 1

The correct option is D therefore

The correct answer is Option D.

There is cause-effect relation between the two sentences in the given question.

His changing school is a result of his family moving to another town.

Thus we are to choose the option that correctly expresses this cause-effect relation.

Option A - 'Certainly' is an adverb but it is an adverb of affirmation and does not express the cause-effect relation as explained above.

Option B -'Rather' is used as a word to express degree or choice, hence not the suitable option here.

Option C- 'Partly' means to some extent, not completely. Changing schools cannot happen in parts - it is a complete action - Therefore it is an incorrect option.

Option D- 'Therefore' correctly establishes the cause-effect relation between moving of the family and changing schools i.e. because the family moved to another town he changed schools.

Hence Option D is the correct option.
