    first, the lesson ___________.
    A after Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B behind Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C besides Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D afterwards Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ‘After’ must be followed by a noun, pronoun or gerund. If we do not like to use a noun/pronoun or gerund, we cannot use ‘after’ but we can use ‘afterwards’. So, here, ‘afterwards’ must be used.
