Question

when enslaved africans were brought to north america, they brought plants from africa with them. ________, african plants began to grow in america. a however b meanwhile c for instance d as a result

Explanation:

We need to choose a conjunction that shows the logical relationship between the two sentences. The first sentence says enslaved Africans brought plants from Africa to North America, and the second says African plants began to grow in America. This is a cause - effect relationship.

• Option A "However" is used to show contrast, which does not fit here.
• Option B "Meanwhile" is used to show that two events happen at the same time, which is not the case here.
• Option C "For instance" is used to give an example, but the second sentence is not an example of the first.
• Option D "As a result" is used to show a cause - effect relationship, where the action of bringing plants (cause) leads to the plants growing in America (effect).

Answer:

D. As a result
