This story is<em> “To Kill a Mockingbird”, </em>written by Harper Lee. The children Jem and Scout Finch live in Maycomb and they witness how their father Atticus Finch defends a black man Tom Robinson. They know he is not guilty, but the jury is prejudiced against black men. In the courtroom, as the jury comes to deliver the verdict, Scout remembers how Atticus told her that a jury never looks at a man they have convicted. Neither of the 12 members of the jury looked at Tom Robinson.
Question: Which of the following best assists readers in inferring that the jury will announce a unanimous guilty verdict?
Answer: <u><em>4. Scout’s dreamlike impression that matched what she knew about juries—that they never look at a defendant when they have voted to convict—gave a strong hint about the guilty verdict
</em></u>

This question is missing the answer choices. I have found the complete question online. The choices are the following:

Answer:
The transition phrase which best connects the ideas is:
C. In addition to.
Explanation:
According to the passage, more than one thing happened when the city of Philadelphia became active once again.<u> We need to find a transition that will convey that idea of addition</u> - "besides shops opening and people coming out of their homes, ships began to sail on the river." <u>The best transition is "in addition to," which means basically the same as "besides".</u>
Let's see what the sentence looks like with "in addition to":
When the fever seemed to be near an end, the city of Philadelphia became active once again. In addition to shops opening and people coming out of their homes, ships began to sail on the river.
