__________, have you been to the local library yet?
Options
- ASort of
- BFrankly
- CAll the same
- DIncidentally
Correct answer
D. Incidentally
Step-by-step solution
The sentence introduces a new topic or a passing thought in a conversation. The discourse marker 'Incidentally' is used to introduce a new subject or add a piece of information, similar to 'by the way'.
The other options do not fit the context: 'Sort of' means to some extent, 'Frankly' means honestly, and 'All the same' means nevertheless.
Thus, the complete sentence is: 'Incidentally, have you been to the local library yet?'
Answer: Incidentally
