Question

In each of the following questions, two independent sentences are given with six words highlighted in bold. These words may or may not be in their correct positions. The sentences are followed by certain instructions.

Find the correct option to connect the two sentences given above without changing the intended meaning.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The question asks to find the most appropriate conjunction to connect two independent sentences without altering their original meaning.

2. The options include conjunctions that express contrast, addition, cause, or condition.

3. "However" is used to show contrast between two statements, which fits best when connecting two independent ideas that contrast each other.

4. Other options like "as well as" indicate addition, "although" introduces a subordinate clause with concession, "even after" implies a condition or time, and "because" shows cause.

5. Since the intended meaning requires a contrastive connection, "however" is the correct choice.

**Answer:** (a) however
