Clue

The first clause states a benefit ("healthier"); the second clause states a second, similar benefit ("save money"). The transition needs to signal the addition of another supporting point for the first blank. For the second blank, the transition needs to signal a result or conclusion drawn from the preceding facts.

3

Hint

Look for Additive transition words (like Moreover, Furthermore, In addition) for the first blank. Look for Conclusive or Cause-and-Effect transition words (like Thus, Therefore, Consequently, As a result) for the second blank.

Choices

6

Choice-A

Choice A is incorrect. "Consequently" (meaning as a result) wrongly implies that saving money is a result of home-cooking being healthier; it is a separate, additional benefit. "Since" (meaning because) wrongly signals that the preference for home-cooking is the reason for the preceding facts, when it is actually the conclusion.

Wrong Consequently, since

7

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect. "Nevertheless" (meaning in spite of that) signals a contrast, but saving money is an addition to the health benefits, not a contradiction. "Although" (meaning in spite of the fact that) signals a concession or contrast, which is illogical here.

Wrong Nevertheless, although

8

Choice-C

Choice C is correct. "Moreover" correctly signals an additive relationship, introducing "saving money" as an extra point supporting home-cooking. "Thus" correctly signals a consequence or conclusion, indicating that the family preference is a direct result of the combined benefits (health and money-saving).

Correct moreover, Thus

9

Choice-D

Choice D is incorrect. "Conversely" (meaning in an opposite way) signals a reversal or strong contrast, but saving money and being healthier are both benefits, not opposites. "For instance" (meaning for example) signals an illustration, but the final statement is a conclusion drawn from the facts, not an example of them.

Wrong Conversely, For instance
