Hello.
I've been doing some FCE tests online and I have a doubt concerning this sentence:
« Dolls have existed as children's playthings for thousands of years. However, they were .............manufactured as toys in large numbers in Germany in the fifteenth century.»
We were given 4 hypothesis, two of which impossible; the other two were:
a) first b) initially
In the key to the test a) was correct.
So, my question is: Can't we use b) in this sentence? And if we can't, why not?
Thank you in advance.
