D. Rather

The transition word that best connects the ideas in the paragraph is letter D. rather.

Explanation:

The speaker in this paragraph explains that he has been receiving more calls in his office due to the petition to build a new runway by an airport. He proceeds to explain that the vast majority of the people are against the runway. The way he says it, people "do not support the airport's expansion". Instead of supporting it, they express their concerns.

Ever since Central City Airport petitioned the council to build a new runway, calls to my office have increased more than 75 percent. The vast majority of my constituents do not support the airport's expansion. Rather, they expressed concerns about noise pollution, traffic gridlock, and danger to the migratory habitat near the proposed runway.

He is mentioning what people are doing. They are doing this instead of doing that. The transitional word that best expresses that idea is rather. Nonetheless and yet would be appropriate if he were mentioning that, despite not supporting the expansion, people see the advantages. Lastly would appropriate if the speaker had been listing items or events in a sequence. At no point did he do that (there is not a "firstly" for there to be a "lastly").

the correct answer is the first option "the bolkshevik revolution". the passage makes reference to many of important events that occured in the revolution, such as the assemblies, in this case the animals are gathered in an assembly after a protest, the murder of fellow partners, the speeches given by the leader of the revolution, among other aspects. the last choice is possible, but in this passage in particular it is not emphasized the fight between the characters, that is the two pigs, that represent lenin and stallin.
