Question

Not being able to go outside on such a nice day, father became very agitated; _____, he began to jump up and down and wave his arms wildly.

A. Similarly
B. Nonetheless
C. On the other hand
D. Indeed

Answer 1

The correct word to complete the sentence about the father's agitation is 'Indeed,' as it intensifies the previous statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence 'Not being able to go outside on such a nice day, father became very agitated; _____, he began to jump up and down and wave his arms wildly.' is completed most appropriately by the option D.

'Indeed'. This word suggests an intensification or confirmation of the previous statement, which fits the context of the father becoming even more agitated.

The other options (Similarly, Nonetheless, On the other hand) do not logically connect to the previous statement as they indicate comparison, contrast, or despite something, respectively, which isn't the case here.
