The royal court is one reason Elizabethan London is the ideal location for an adventurous time traveler. , Queen Elizabeth lived in London for much of the year and often made public appearances. She was an accomplished public speaker and was admired by her subjects. , in a famous speech delivered to soldiers at Tilbury, she assured troops that England would remain strong against anyone who tried to invade. Which transition would most effectively introduce the second sentence? Which transition would most effectively introduce the third sentence?

a) in fact (additionally, moreover)

b) for instance (for example)

Explanation:

To find the best transition we must first infer the context of the sentences.

First sentence claims the Elizabethan London (London in the epoch of Queen Elizabeth) is a perfect place for a time traveler. Next sentence gives more information on the Queen. That means that the best transition could be achieved with "in fact", "also", "moreover", "additionally" etc.

Third sentence states that the Queen was accomplished public speaker and the next sentence gives an example of one of her speeches. That means that the best transition could be use of "for example", "for instance" etc.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
