Explanation
Correct answer: B.
Choice B is the best answer. “Ultimately” logically signals that the information in this sentence—that the court’s jurisdiction was subdivided into two districts—was the eventual outcome or resolution of the previously described struggle of the single district to serve the needs of everyone in the state.
Why the other choices are wrong
Choice A
Choice A is incorrect because “nevertheless” illogically signals that the information in the sentence is true despite the single district’s struggle to serve the state’s needs. Instead, the sentence describes the eventual resolution of that struggle.
Choice C
Choice C is incorrect because “additionally” illogically signals that the information in the sentence is merely an additional fact related to the single district’s struggle. Instead, the sentence describes the eventual resolution of that struggle.
Choice D
Choice D is incorrect because “for example” illogically signals that the information in the sentence provides a specific example of the single district’s struggle to serve the state’s needs. Instead, the sentence describes the eventual resolution of that struggle.
