writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
furthermore,
B
additionally,
C
although,
D
moreover,
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The sentence modifies the previous statement with a concession about the guide's honesty. "Although" creates this contrast.
Choice A is incorrect because "furthermore" indicates addition. Choice B is incorrect because "additionally" indicates addition. Choice D is incorrect because "moreover" indicates addition.
