Question

My friend and I argue all of the time. If we're not lighting into one another over hurt feelings, we're constantly accusing one another of spreading rumors. It's not always clear who's right and who's wrong, and sometimes it hardly seems to matter. However, our relationship is in trouble, and we need help.

There may be a mistake in the way the underlined sentence is written. If you find a mistake, choose the answer that corrects the mistake. If there is no mistake, choose "Correct as is."

A) Correct as is

B) Still, our relationship is in trouble, and we need help.

C) Without question, our relationship is in trouble, and we need help.

D) In spite of this, our relationship is in trouble, and we need help.

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is Without question, our relationship is in trouble, and we need help.. The phrase, "Without question" is the appropriate transition term, given the information that precedes it.

Answer 2

C) Without question, our relationship is in trouble, and we need help.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conjunctive adverbs however and in spite of demonstrate contrast between ideas. Another conjunctive adverb (still) signifies concession. Yet the underlined sentence "our relationship is in trouble, and we need help" is not related to the preceding sentences of the paragraph by way of contrast or concession to their ideas.

The phrase without question adds logical emphasis and confirms the obvious fact that the relationship is in trouble. C would be the correct choice.
