Question: 232

Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
- A. but
- B. for
- C. since
- D. and
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
(A) To determine the correct conjunction to use, analyze the relationship between the two clauses. Here, the second clause contrasts with the first. Essentially, although Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize, he is more famous for something else. "Although," like "but," is a contrasting term. Choice (A) is the correct answer. Choices (B) and (C) emphasize a causal relationship. Choice (D) is not contrasting but, rather, conjoining.
