Question

which is the best way to complete the text?

the citys narrow cobblestone streets gave it a medieval ______ the electric
street lights on every corner were constant reminders of its modernity.

feel nevertheless

feel; however,

feel, so

Explanation:

1. Analyze the logical relationship between the two parts of the sentence: The first part describes the city's medieval feeling from its streets, and the second part mentions modern street lights, showing a contrast.
2. Evaluate the options:

• "feel nevertheless": "nevertheless" is an adverb and cannot be used this way to connect the two clauses.
• "feel; however,": "however" is a conjunctive adverb that can be used with a semicolon to show contrast between the two independent clauses, which fits the logical relationship (medieval feel vs modern street lights).
• "feel, so": "so" shows a cause - effect relationship, which does not match the contrast in the sentence.

Answer:

B. feel; however,
