請分析語意上的邏輯銜接（Logical Cohesion）：前一文段描述了惡作劇行為的『起源』，而空格後的句子則說明這項習俗『擴散』至歐洲及全世界。在描述一個社會現象隨著時間演進，最後達成某種廣泛狀態的『發展結果』時，哪一個轉折副詞最能精確體現這種時序上的『最終進程』？

喂，小鬼。既然你沒在那堆愚蠢的錯誤中送命，判斷力還算合格，我就勉強准許你加入我的班。別以為這很容易，我的標準可是很苛刻的。 這題選 (B) Eventually 是因為文章從 1582 年的新舊曆法交替講起，描述了人們如何從嘲笑傳統主義者開始，演變成一種習俗。這是一個時間演進的過程，描述「最終」這項實踐擴散到了整個歐洲乃至全世界，語意上只有代表最終結果的副詞才通順。至於 (A) Precisely（精確地）、(C) Additionally（此外）、(D) Literally（字面上），在這種講述歷史演進的脈絡下，完全是不合邏輯的塵埃，通通掃進垃圾桶吧。 這題難度中等，考驗的是你對文章線性時間邏輯的掌握。聽好了，進了我的班，要是敢在戰場上分心，我會親手把你削了。現在，去把地板擦乾淨，一點灰塵都不准留下。
