________, you needed to consult a physician to have a clear idea of what the disease is about.
- (a)In that case
- (b)In these case
- (c)Likewise
- (d)Henceforth
Correct — A, 'In that case'. 'In that case' means 'if that is so / given that situation', and it points back to a stated circumstance to draw a consequence — advising that 'you needed to consult a physician...'. It is the fitting conditional connector.
- (b)In these case — Ungrammatical: the plural 'these' cannot modify the singular 'case' — the correct forms are 'in this case' or 'in these cases'.
- (c)Likewise — Means 'similarly'; it needs a prior parallel statement to mirror, which is absent here.
- (d)Henceforth — Means 'from now on'; a forward-looking time adverb that clashes with the past-tense 'you needed to consult'.
'In that case' is a conditional connector meaning 'if that is so / given that situation' — it draws a consequence from a stated circumstance.
