Given below are sentences that use discourse markers/expressions to make them complete. Identify the most appropriate discourse marker/expression and mark your answer accordingly in the Answer Sheet:
__________, the problem is nothing but a wrong assumption about processes.
__________, the problem is nothing but a wrong assumption about processes.
Options
- AIn the meanwhile
- BSomewhat
- CEngagingly
- DIn other words
Correct answer
D. In other words
Step-by-step solution
The sentence requires a discourse marker that introduces a clarification or a restatement of a previously mentioned concept.
The phrase 'In other words' is used to express an idea in a different, usually simpler or more direct way. It perfectly fits the context of summarizing or explaining the core of the problem as 'nothing but a wrong assumption about processes'.
The other options do not fit logically or grammatically: 'In the meanwhile' refers to time, 'Somewhat' indicates degree, and 'Engagingly' describes a manner of doing something.
