Solution 1

The most logical transition in this context would be (Choice A) "consequently". This is because the information provided about the unusual depth of the magma fueling Iceland's volcanoes sets up a cause-and-effect relationship, which is best captured by "consequently". The sentence structure implies that the great depth of the magma is the reason why Iceland's volcanoes are considered extreme outliers.

This problem has been solved

Solution 2

The most logical transition to complete the text would be (Choice D) nevertheless. This is because the sentence is contrasting the depth of magma sources for Iceland's volcanoes with those of many other Earth's volcanoes. The word 'nevertheless' is used to introduce a contrasting point.

The viscosity, or thickness, of magma inside an active volcano can determine how hazardous the eruption will be for surrounding communities. But the viscosity of the magma can typically only be studied once the eruption has already happened. ------- seismologists still continue to put effort and resources into determining the magma viscosity before the eruption in hopes of better predicting the impact it might have.Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?Therefore,eliminateBesides,eliminateNevertheless,eliminateSubsequently,
