Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
Explanation
Context: In 1891 Loie Fuller first performed her celebrated Serpentine Dance, twirling a long, flowing skirt for striking visual effects. The blank introduces the groundbreaking short film Auguste and Louis Lumiere made of that dance in 1896.
Answer: C) Later,
Why? The second sentence moves the account five years forward, from the 1891 premiere to the 1896 film, so the blank simply marks the passage of time.
Traps:
- A) "However," signals opposition, but filming the dance extends its story rather than countering the premiere.
- B) "In conclusion," closes out an argument, and this is a new event in a narrative that is not summing up.
- D) "In other words," restates the previous sentence, while a film by two cinema pioneers is a separate fact, not a rewording.
