Question

Which choice most effectively sets up the examples given at the end of the sentence [9]?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. During periods of economic recession,
• C. Although their value cannot be measured,
• D. When it comes to the free services libraries provide,

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

During periods of economic recession,

B is the right answer because it mentions time periods when the free services described later in the sentence are particularly useful to library patrons. A, C, and D are incorrect because each creates redundancy or awkwardness in the remainder of the sentence.
