Fill in the missing word to complete the sentences below:

They've arranged to have another meeting in two weeks, and ______ the problem is getting worse and worse!

  • A.hence
  • B.therefore
  • C.because
  • D.meanwhile

Answer: D

The sentence says that another meeting is arranged in two weeks, and ______ the problem is getting worse. The word needed shows two things going on at the same time: in the time before the meeting, the problem becomes worse. 'Meanwhile' means in the time between, so it fits. 'Hence' and 'therefore' show a result, but the worsening problem is not the result of arranging a meeting, and 'because' would make the meeting the effect of the worsening and does not fit the grammar of the sentence. The answer is meanwhile, option D.
