Gabe had skipped forty-two classes and gotten suspended three times for fighting. gabe was not allowed to walk across the stage at graduation in his gown.
which word would most logically connect these two sentences?
a) consequently
b) for
c) so
d) unless

A) consequently

Explanation:

Consequently is a sentence connector that shows cause an effect. That means that some action or actions lead to a determinate result. This word is defined as "as a result".

In this case, the negative actions of Gabe lead to a negative consequence.

The final sentence is:

Gabe had skipped forty-two classes and gotten suspended three times for fighting, consequently Gabe was not allowed to walk across the stage at graduation in his gown.

since it is asking for her reaction to elnora's trouble at school you can rule out any answers with a positive response (b). then you can rule out (d), this is because it does not show the mother's reaction but the daughter's response. that leaves you with two options (a) and (c), by looking at the options you can rule out (c) because it isn't referring back to elnora's issues at school.

the correct order is:

you're your own worst enemy:

they're going to say what they say, but

their opinions aren't holding you

back. it's your self-defeatist

attitude that's keeping your work

from getting its due.
