Question

Choose the connective that belongs in the blank in the following sentence.

I like to play baseball. _______, I can't throw a ball very well.
A. However
B. In fact
C. For instance
D. Besides

Answer 1

The two sentences are in opposition: the first says that the speaker likes baseball and the second that the speaker is not very good at it: they could be considered slightly contradictory.

So we need a connective that expresses just that: contradiction: this is "however" - the correct answer is A.
