Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
Answer and explanation
Answer: A: Ultimately,
The passage describes a period of preparation followed by its eventual, positive result, and ultimately signals exactly that kind of concluding outcome.

Similarly would suggest the second sentence echoes the first instead of reporting a resulting outcome.
