Question

read this excerpt. the word \however\ in this part of the text signals that the author is a organizing ideas and thoughts in order of importance. b switching to a different idea or thought. c emphasizing an idea or thought. d providing an example of a previous idea or thought. the braves finished eight games second - place pirates. they earned a rem the yankees in the world series. this lin however, it was the yankees that won in games.

Explanation:

The word "however" is a conjunctive adverb used to show a contrast or a shift in thought. In the excerpt, before "however", it talks about the Braves earning a rematch with the Yankees, and after "however", it states that the Yankees won. This shows a shift to a different (contrasting) idea. Option A is about order of importance (no indication of that here), Option C is about emphasizing (not the case), Option D is about providing an example (also not the case). So "however" signals switching to a different idea.

Answer:

B. switching to a different idea or thought.
