Zorluk: OrtaPart-to-Whole Rhetorical Function

In 1840, Great Britain introduced the Uniform Penny Post, a system that allowed letters to be sent anywhere in the country for a flat rate of one penny, paid by the sender. Previously, postal rates were high, calculated by distance and page count, and paid by the recipient, which restricted correspondence to the wealthy. By making communication cheap and accessible, the reform catalyzed a massive increase in personal letter-writing among the working class. Consequently, this shift not only democratized communication but also stimulated literacy rates and fostered national cohesion across previously isolated rural and urban communities.

Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole?
