Which transitional phrase signals a final point?
Correct answer: D. Above all
- A. On the contrary
- B. For example
- C. Meanwhile
- D. Above all
Explanation
The correct answer is 'Above all' because it is commonly used to emphasize the most important point or conclusion in a discussion or argument. 'On the contrary' introduces a contrasting idea, 'For example' provides an illustration, and 'Meanwhile' indicates simultaneous occurrences, none of which signal a final point.
