For what is required by the question and the options of answers provided, I assume the underlined word was '<u>but</u>'. If that's the case, then the best option would be letter B. Both 'however' and 'but' are adversative adverbs, that is, transition words with an adversative implication - They connect two informations that generally contradict one another (like in the example above). The words 'although', 'nonetheless' and 'nevertheless' have the same function, <em>although</em> used in different situations.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The transition word that would best replace the underlined word would be however. It is <span>used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously</span>. Hope this helps.

Can somebody help me with this? The questions are: 1. Why did the little prince want to know if sheep eat bushes? 2. What 2 plan
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: 1 The Little Prince is worried that the sheep might eat the rose. 2 a rose and a baobab. 3 The crazy (actually lazy) man did not keep the baobab tree on his planet under control, so it grew so large that it destroyed his planet.

There is another man so busy with "serious" business that he neglected to think about the conflict between sheep and roses, or why roses have thorns...

Explanation: This part is more complicated: 4 The Little Prince wants to see the rose. The rose is temperamental and proud. She tells him to go away. 5 She does not want him to see her crying. (at the end of chapter IX)

There may be other reasons. The Little Prince goes on a voyage that takes him to other asteroids and eventually to Earth.
