Question

Why did the author begin the last paragraph with the word “Alternatively”? A) To indicate that the paragraph will present a contrast to the previous one B) To signal that the paragraph will give another example of a function C) To suggest that functions are more important than nonfunctions D) To reveal that the tone of the text is becoming more serious

Answer 1

Answer:
A) To indicate that the paragraph will present a contrast to the previous one.

Explanation:
The word “alternatively” usually means another option, another possibility.

So, it wouldn’t signal that the paragraph would give another example of a function. It also wouldn’t suggest that functions are more important, or to reveal the tone of the text is becoming more serious.

I can elaborate if you want me to. I hope I helped
