Answer:
In this question you're supposed to choose 2:
[1]
"Oh, God", he thought, "what a strenuous career it is that I've chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that there's the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them. It can all go to Hell!"
[2]
"Getting up early all the time", he thought, "it makes you stupid. You've got to get enough sleep. Other travelling salesmen live a life of luxury. For instance, whenever I go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract, these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts. I ought to just try that with my boss; I'd get kicked out on the spot. But who knows, maybe that would be the best thing for me. If I didn't have my parents to think about I'd have given in my notice a long time ago, I'd have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think, tell him everything I would, let him know just what I feel."
Let me break it down for you, starting with:
A. That was when I realized my decision was final; but there was no turning back. Now, at first glance, this seems like a pretty good answer, right? Wrong, you don't need that "but" there, doesn't it seem a bit out of place? Now, I'm not saying this isn't something you can do, but it's not the best answer choice.
B. That was when I realized my decision was final; however, there was no turning back. "However" is a word that you usually don't see people use a lot. Now, to me, as someone who likes lengthy writing, I would choose this answer choice, but since it asks for the best answer choice, this one isn't the correct one.
C. That was when I realized my decision was final; also there was no turning back. Anyone with a brain can tell that this is obviously a wrong answer; you wouldn't just say, "Also, there was no turning back." in the middle of a sentence, it doesn't fit there.
D. That was when I realized my decision was final, and there was no turning back. Read this aloud, you can tell that it sounds and slides off the tongue nicer than the other three sentences.
D is the correct answer.
