- A. Yet,
- B. Additionally,
- C. In conclusion,
- D. As a result,
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
(A) This is the only option that expresses the needed contrast between the previous sentence and the current one since there is a contrast between the glorious construction of the Parthenon and the fact that the glory was very short-lived. The other options do not express the needed contrast.
