Question

Read the passage. Look at the underlined section marked number (17). There may be a mistake in the way the sentence is written. If you find a mistake, choose the answer that corrects the mistake. If there is no mistake, choose ‘Correct as is.’
A Correct as is.
B Thus, in many poor countries there is not adequate law enforcement to prevent poaching or illegal development of land inside park boundaries.
C However, in many poor countries there is not adequate law enforcement to prevent poaching or illegal development of land inside park boundaries.
D Consequently, in many poor countries there is not adequate law enforcement to prevent poaching or illegal development of land inside park boundaries.

Answer 1

C

"However" is the appropriate transitional word to introduce a contrast (e.g., between the existence or idea of parks and the reality of weak enforcement in many poor countries). "Thus" or "Consequently" would wrongly signal a direct result or conclusion.
