With his room-sized installation Unicorn/My Private Sky, Norwegian artist Børre Sæthre succeeds in creating a whimsical yet perplexing experience. _______when visitors set foot inside the fantastically blue room and encounter the life-sized stuffed unicorn preening at the far end of it, they are both dazzled and confused—as if stepping into a strange and enchanting new world. Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?
Correct answer: C (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
Choice C is the best answer. “Indeed” logically signals that the description of the art installation in this sentence—its blue room and preening unicorn that leave visitors “dazzled and confused”—offers additional emphasis in support of the previous sentence’s claim about the installation’s “whimsical yet perplexing experience.” Choice A is incorrect because “second” illogically signals that the description in this sentence is a second, separate claim from the previous sentence’s claim about the installation’s “whimsical yet perplexing experience.” Instead, the specific details describing the installation emphasize and support the previous claim. Choice B is incorrect because “instead” illogically signals that the description in this sentence is an alternative to the previous sentence’s claim about the installation’s “whimsical yet perplexing experience.” Rather, the specific details describing the installation emphasize and support that claim. Choice D is incorrect because “nevertheless” illogically signals that the description in this sentence is true despite the previous sentence’s claim about the installation’s “whimsical yet perplexing experience.” Instead, the specific details describing the installation emphasize and support that claim.
