Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
It is only possible to know the impact that Lasher had on Walter's life if you read the text. However, you can consider that this impact was transfomative, if Lasher was able to modify Walter's life in an intense and powerful way. You can consider that this impact was traumatic, if Lasher only promoted disgust and bad experiences for Walter. You can consider that this impact was ordinary, if Lasher did not promote anything intense in Walter's life, without provoking any remarkable and transforming experience. Finally, you can consider that this impact was ambiguous, if at the same time that Lasher promoted good things in Walter's life, he also promoted bad things, making it impossible to determine whether Lasher's presence was positive or negative.
The correct answer should be <span>D. he uses the phrase “implacable invaders” to reveal his disdain for the Chinese ailanthus trees because of their destructiveness.
I don't think A is correct because these conditions aren't really harsh given that nobody is even paying attention to the tree so it can grow unnoticed. B is also incorrect because the tree is ignored, and thus doesn't disturb their lives. C is incorrect because he doesn't like this tree, but rather fears it because of its effects.</span>
The word or phrase that would make the best transition at point A is "In addition. Thus, the correct option is B.
