Iraqi artist Nazik Al-Malaika, celebrated as the first Arabic poet to write in free verse, didn't reject traditional forms entirely; her poem 'Elegy for a Woman of No Importance' consists of two ten-line stanzas and a standard number of syllables. Even in this superficially traditional work, ______ Al-Malaika was breaking new ground by memorializing an anonymous woman rather than a famous man. Which choice completes the text with the most logical transition?

Amoreover,
Bin fact,
Cthough,
Dtherefore,
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. though,
Choice B is the best answer. 'Though' signals the qualification: even when Al-Malaika used traditional forms, she SUBVERTED them by choosing a non-traditional subject. 'In fact' would amplify the first sentence; 'therefore' implies consequence; 'moreover' adds rather than qualifies.
