Question: 398

Which choice provides the best transition at this point in the sentence?

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. the classes will take place in my school
• C. despite my misgivings about the teachers
• D. let's face it

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) "Let's face it" uses concise language that matches the relatively informal tone of the essay. Choice (A) is too wordy and extreme, choice (B) is illogical and irrelevant, and choice (C) changes the emphasis from the reading requirements to the teachers themselves.
