"The teacher explained the concept with diagrams. _, everyone understood."
Correct answer: A. As a result
- A. As a result
- B. Instead
- C. Conversely
- D. However
Explanation
The correct answer is 'As a result.' The sentence indicates that the teacher's use of diagrams led to everyone understanding the concept, establishing a cause-and-effect relationship. 'As a result' appropriately connects the cause (the explanation with diagrams) with the effect (everyone understanding). The other options, 'Instead,' 'Conversely,' and 'However,' suggest contrast or opposition, which do not align with the context of the sentence.
