Explanation:

- The blanks in the passage are meant to be filled with words that logically and grammatically fit the context to complete the narrative.

- Option 1: "so" implies a simple cause-and-effect relationship but is often used in less formal contexts or conversations.

- Option 2: "consequently" is used to show a result of the previous statement, indicating a direct correlation between the increased arrivals and the reduction in prices.

- Option 3: "sequentially" refers to order in a series or sequence of events and doesn’t fit the context of cause and effect.

- Option 4: "resulting" suggests a direct outcome or the result of a particular event, which fits the narrative of increased arrivals leading to reduced prices.

- In this context, the word should highlight the cause (increased arrivals) leading to an effect (price reduction).

- Option 2: ‘Consequently’ best completes the cause-and-effect relationship conveyed in the passage.
