_ your request of last week, we are sending you a catalog.
Correct answer: C. Accordingly
- A. Consequently
- B. In order to
- C. Accordingly
- D. Nevertheless
Explanation
The correct answer is Accordingly because it indicates that the action of sending the catalog is in response to the request made last week. It implies a logical sequence of events where the request leads to the sending of the catalog. Consequently suggests a direct cause-and-effect that is not present. In order to implies intent or purpose, not present in the sentence. Nevertheless introduces a contrast, which is unsuitable here.
