Which of the following transitional expressions would be used to signal items in a series?

Furthermore.

Explanation:

The meaning of the word 'furthermore' is 'in addition.' This word is often used when the author wants to introduce another argument to prove his point, or, simply, to list another item in a series of similar items. 'Daily' is used when talking about routines, while 'nearby' means 'close.' The meaning of the word 'meanwhile' is 'at the same time' or 'on the other hand.' Therefore, the expression used to signal items in a series is 'furthermore.'

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.
