In the last sentence, the repetition of the word "presumably" has the following purpose:

B. Remind the audience that they cannot be sure they understand people's motivations.

What does "presumably" mean?

  • When we use the adverb "presumably" in a sentence, we wish to show our audience that what we are talking about is probably true, but it is not certain.
  • For example, suppose you think the president of your country will issue a statement concerning the most recent act of violence that took place. However, you are not sure she will. You may say, "Our president will presumably issue a statement on the topic."
  • With that in mind, we can see that the only option whose purpose is related to the meaning of "presumably" is letter B. The author is making it clear when he repeats "presumably" that we cannot be sure of people's motivations.
