Question

Read these sentences.

Janice spent all day Sunday preparing for the debate. She researched her topic in the morning. Then, she reviewed her notes carefully. __________, she staged a mock debate against her little brother.

Which words could fill the blank to create an appropriate transition between the last two sentences? Select two that apply.
A.
Still

B.
Finally

C.
Lastly

D.
Meanwhile

Answer 1

B and C.

"Finally" and "Lastly" correctly signal the final action (staging the mock debate) after researching and reviewing. "Still" doesn't fit the sequence, and "Meanwhile" implies simultaneity rather than a later, concluding action.
