Identify the most appropriate discourse marker/expression to make the sentence complete.
______________ the committee is of the opinion that all academic matters will be discussed in the Executive Body Meeting.
Options:
- a) Hence
- b) But
- c) Later
- d) Although
- a) Hence
- b) But
- c) Later
- d) Although
correct answer : a)
Explanation:
“Hence” is appropriate because the sentence expresses a formal opinion or decision likely based on earlier reasoning. It acts as a connector showing result or conclusion. “Although” would require a second clause to complete the contrast, making it unsuitable by its own here.
