Consequently vs Subsequently

Two formal-sounding adverbs that trip up writers, consequently and subsequently get clearer over these 10 questions.

You match the right adverb to sentences like Mosquitoes like blue the most; ___, don't wear that color around them. or After giving the stellar speech, Mario ___ became a popular speaker.

Here is the difference that is easy to miss: consequently signals cause and effect, meaning as a result, while subsequently just means afterward in time, with no claim that one thing caused the other.

Recommended level: intermediate to advanced.
