Sample question

Rooftop solar panels generate the most electricity around midday, when sunlight is strongest. ______ household demand for electricity often peaks in the early evening, when people return home, switch on lights, and start cooking.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
  1. Similarly,
  2. However,
  3. For example,
  4. As a result,
Show answer and explanation

B. However,. The second sentence contrasts the timing of demand (early evening) with the timing of generation (midday), so the contrasting transition “However” is logical. “Similarly” signals a likeness, “For example” would present the evening peak as an illustration of midday generation, and “As a result” wrongly suggests that midday generation causes the evening peak.
