Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Without knowing sentence 4, we need to consider the general usage of transition words. "On the other hand" and "However" imply contrast. "Incidentally" is used to introduce a side - note. "In spite of this" also implies contrast but is more about overcoming a previous negative. Without context, we assume a general contrast situation. "However" is a very common and versatile contrast transition.
  2. For sentence 12, option A has parallel structure in listing the family's creative activities: sang, wrote, performed, and painted. Options B, C, and D have non - parallel verb forms (e.g., "performing" in non - parallel usage in B, C, and D).

Answer:

  1. G. However
  2. A. The Alcotts’ Orchard House was alive with creativity: the family sang, wrote in journals, performed skits and plays that they authored, and painted whatever entered their vivid imaginations.
