Choice C is incorrect because 'in effetti' doesn't indicate a topic change but rather strengthens and specifies the information being discussed. To help students: Practice recognizing how 'in effetti' functions to confirm and elaborate on previous statements. Distinguish between 'in effetti' as confirmation versus transitions that introduce contrasts or new topics.

Choice C is incorrect because it suggests introducing a specific example, when 'in conclusione' actually signals the end of examples and the beginning of a summary. To help students: Practice recognizing how 'in conclusione' signals the synthesis phase of Italian formal discussions. Encourage analysis of how this expression helps speakers wrap up complex topics with clear recommendations.
