Without changing the meaning of this sentence, which could replace the transition Next in the fourth sentence?
A.
In fact
B.
Then
C.
Suddenly
D.

Answer 1

Since 'next' is a time-order word, you need another.

'Then' is a time-order word. You are not stating a 'fact', nothing happened abruptly, or 'suddenly', and you aren't comparing anything, 'similarly'.
