Question

Select the correct option: Her argument was compelling: it was based on outdated data.

• A. otherwise
• B. conversely
• C. nevertheless
• D. subsequently

Answer 1

Answer:

C. nevertheless

• the sentence presents two conflicting ideas: • Her argument was compelling (strong, convincing, well-presented). • It was based on outdated data (a major flaw). • When you want to show that something is true in spite of a major drawback, you use a contrast connector. • Nevertheless means "in spite of that" or "however". • Corrected Reading: "Her argument was compelling; nevertheless (in spite of that), it was based on outdated data."
