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, so

feel; however,

Explanation:

The sentence contrasts the medieval feel of the city's streets with the modernity of electric street lights. "However" is a contrast - indicating conjunctive adverb, and a semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses before a conjunctive adverb. "Nevertheless" is incorrect as it can't be used without proper punctuation and structure here, and "so" implies a cause - effect which is not the case (the two parts are contrasting, not cause - effect). So "feel; however," is the correct choice.

Answer:

feel; however,
