Cevap

Thereafter
The passage describes a chronological sequence of events in the decipherment of the Linear B script. First, Alice Kober carried out her analysis in the 1940s and died in 1950. Later, in 1952, Michael Ventris used her findings to complete the decipherment. The transition 'Thereafter' correctly indicates that Ventris's work occurred after Kober's work and death.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two sentences in the passage.
The first sentence describes Kober's work in the 1940s and her death in 1950. The second sentence describes Ventris's subsequent success in 1952.
Understanding the timeline is necessary to determine the correct chronological transition.
2
Evaluate the chronological relationship.
The events in the second sentence occurred after the events in the first sentence, establishing a subsequent relationship.
This helps narrow down the choices to transition words that mean 'after' or 'following this'.
3
Select the transition word that fits this relationship.
The transition 'Thereafter' means 'after that time' or 'subsequently', which perfectly fits the passage's chronological sequence.
This transition maintains the logical flow and historical accuracy of the text.
