Problem

The movie received great reviews; __, it was nominated for several awards, which encouraged more people to go see it in theaters during its release.

2

Clue

The first clause ("The movie received great reviews") is a positive statement, and the second clause ("it was nominated for several awards…​") is also a positive development that logically extends or adds to the first one. The second event is a natural consequence or additional good thing related to the first.

3

Hint

Look for Additive transition words (like furthermore, moreover, in addition) when the second idea supports, intensifies, or simply continues the thought of the first idea. Avoid Contrast words (conversely, nevertheless) unless the ideas genuinely oppose each other.

Choices

6

Choice-A

Choice A is correct. "Furthermore" (meaning in addition; moreover) is an Additive transition. It correctly shows that the nomination for awards is an extra, positive consequence or development that builds on the good news of the great reviews.

Correct furthermore

7

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect. "Conversely" (meaning in an opposite way) is a Contrast transition. The nomination is a positive outcome, not the opposite of receiving great reviews; they are related good things.

Wrong Conversely

8

Choice-C

Choice C is incorrect. "Nevertheless" (meaning in spite of that; however) is an Adversative/Contrast transition. It would imply that the nomination occurred despite a negative factor (e.g., "The movie received terrible reviews; nevertheless, it was nominated…​"), which contradicts the positive flow of the sentence.

Wrong Nevertheless

9

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect. "For instance" (meaning for example) is an Illustrative transition. The nomination is not an example of receiving great reviews; it’s a result or additional step that happened afterward.

Wrong For instance
