Question #N1193
Which choice best completes the sentence so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English? The book's cover is a vivid representation of the novel's themes. ______, the novel's story is set in a world of darkness and despair.
A. Therefore
B. However
C. Although
D. Moreover
Correct Answer is: B
The word "however" correctly creates a contrast between the two clauses, which is the relationship the sentence is trying to express. "However" is the only choice that correctly sets up a contrast between the ideas in the two clauses. The other choices create logical connections or build on the first clause, but they do not create a contrasting relationship.
