Insert the most suitable adverb of cause and mark your answer in the response sheet.
He was late for the meeting, __________ he missed the initial proceedings of the event.
Answer: A
The adverb is consequently: He was late for the meeting, consequently he missed the initial proceedings.
The second clause states the result of the first: being late caused him to miss the start. Consequently means "as a result", so it links the cause with its effect, which is what the question means by an adverb of cause.
Gradually, slowly and abruptly are adverbs of manner: they describe how something happens, not why. Put in the blank they would not connect the two clauses and the sentence would make no sense.
