_______, the problem is nothing but a wrong assumption about processes.
- (a)In the meanwhile
- (b)Somewhat
- (c)Engagingly
- (d)In other words
Correct — D, In other words. The clause restates an idea in simpler, blunter terms ('the problem is nothing but a wrong assumption'), and 'In other words' is precisely the marker that introduces a restatement or clarification of what came before.
- (a)In the meanwhile — 'In the meanwhile' is a time expression ('meanwhile'); it does not signal a restatement of an idea.
- (b)Somewhat — 'Somewhat' is a degree adverb ('to some extent') and cannot open a clarifying restatement.
- (c)Engagingly — 'Engagingly' is a manner adverb ('in an engaging way'); it does not mark a paraphrase or clarification.
'In other words' is a reformulation marker that flags a paraphrase — a clearer or blunter restatement of the preceding idea.
