Question

7 choose the answer that best completes the sentence.
the venezuelan government has been closing down media and news outlets.
______, a group of people decided to deliver the news personally to the
venezuelan people.
a therefore
b obviously
c specifically
d as an illustration

Explanation:

The first sentence states the Venezuelan government closing media outlets, which creates a need for alternative news delivery. The second sentence describes people’s decision to deliver news personally, which is a direct result of the first event. "Therefore" indicates a cause-effect relationship, fitting the logical connection between the two sentences. Other options do not convey this causal link: "Obviously" (stating self-evidence), "Specifically" (adding details), and "As an illustration" (providing an example) are irrelevant here.

Answer:

A. Therefore
