The difference is that I have been fortunate to find a career that I love and, ________, I am getting paid reasonably for it.
- (a)briefly
- (b)broadly speaking
- (c)what is more
- (d)in conclusion
Correct — C, 'what is more'. 'What is more' means 'moreover / in addition', and it adds a further, stronger point: the speaker loves the career and, on top of that, is paid reasonably for it. The additive frame 'and, ______,' calls for exactly this add-on marker.
- (a)briefly — Means 'concisely / in a few words'; it signals summarising, not the addition of an extra point.
- (b)broadly speaking — Means 'generally / in general terms'; it introduces a generalisation rather than a specific added benefit.
- (d)in conclusion — A closing marker meaning 'to sum up / finally'; this is a mid-sentence addition, not a conclusion.
'What is more' is an additive discourse marker meaning 'moreover / furthermore' — it appends a further, often stronger, point.
