An exhausted scientist is documenting an experiment where lab mice were given Wi-Fi access to test their intelligence. Help the scientist complete their research log by choosing words that express that the outcome was a completely expected and unavoidable consequence.
Select ALL the sentence adverbs that logically apply.
_____, the rodents managed to bypass the firewall and max out the department's credit card on premium gouda.
The correct answers are Inevitably, Predictably, and Unsurprisingly.
Evaluative sentence adverbs allow the writer to comment on the information in the sentence. Because the prompt specifies that the outcome was "expected and unavoidable," we need adverbs that reflect certainty and logical consequence.
Inevitably, Predictably, and Unsurprisingly perfectly convey that the scientist should have seen this coming!
Astonishingly means it was highly surprising (the opposite of what we want). Inadvertently means accidentally, which doesn't fit the deliberate act of buying premium cheese.
