which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
a over the next several years,
b at the same time,
c in contrast to earlier practices,
d despite frequent changes,

Explanation:

To find the most logical transition, we analyze the timeline and context. The club introduced the system in 2016 and codified it by 2024, so we need a transition showing the passage of time between 2016 and 2024. Option A ("Over the next several years,") fits as it indicates the time period during which the club maintained the layout and later codified it.

Option D implies changes, but the text says the club kept the same layout.

Answer:

A. Over the next several years,
