Question

Which choice most effectively sets up the contrast in the sentence [3] and is consistent with the information in the rest of the passage?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. Still has an important place
• C. Remains the only option
• D. Yields questionable results

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Still has an important place

In this context option B is the correct answer because it is consistent with the fact that there remains a “veritable army of trained volunteers traveling the country” and because it uses “still” to contrast this method with the “new avenues.” A, C, and D are incorrect because none is consistent with the information contained later in the passage.
