Question

complete the text with the transition that best connects the claim to the counterclaim.
some graffiti, such as the work of graffiti artist banksy, should be valued as real art. ____, many people argue that graffiti is nothing more than defacement of public property. sometimes, however, graffiti makes a statement and challenges preconceived notions, much like great paintings or sculptures.
granted
actually
evidently

Explanation:

The word needs to introduce a counterclaim to the initial statement that graffiti is real art. "Granted" is used to acknowledge an opposing point before presenting a counter-argument, which fits the structure here: first acknowledging the view that graffiti is property defacement, then countering that it can be meaningful art.

Answer:

Granted
