Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

Public transportation within the country of Austria is widely available. _____ within the city of Salzburg, at dozens and dozens of points, buses on different lines arrive at individual stops every 8 to 10 minutes throughout the day.

The correct answer is (B).

current priority level - we all want this one

Two things for everyone to read…

• i) If either of the old-school classic transitions of “For instance” or “For example” end up being the correct answer to a Transition Question, it is very likely that it will be clear that we want such a transition as these two. So, if you instinctively think that “For instance” is correct, it is almost for sure that’s because it is correct.
• ii) If you’re not sure when an oddball transition like “Again and again” would be correct, as is so often the case, in this case, who cares. We already think the answer is (B) and there is power in IGNORING things at the right time.

Okay, maybe read the rest. Maybe don’t(especially if you confidently clicked on (B)).

Thinking the answer here is option (A) is kind of not ok. We all want to know the cause & effect thing that “As a result” does, and we all want to see that it isn’t happening here.

Those of us on a Path to 650+(and maybe also a Path to 600+) want a sense of the transition “Moreover”, so that if it, or a transition similar to it, is the correct answer we’re looking for, we’ll be ready to pounce with confidence.
