Read the sentences from a student’s essay about "the treasure of lemon brown.”

in the beginning of the story, greg is focused on playing basketball for the scorpions. his father wants him to study harder and lectures him about the importance of doing well in school.

which transition should be added between the sentences to improve the flow of ideas?
still
however
thus
second

However is the correct answer. Allow me to explain:

When using the transition word, "however," you are either stating am exception to a rule, or you are stating that something else's beliefs do not coincide with the point of view the writer is signifying. In this example, Greg's focus on basketball is met with his father's contrary belief. Because of this, however is the appropriate term to be used.

Hope this helped! Please mark Brainliest if it did!

However, it is a discourse marker, your naming a positive point, then a negative points which explains why the positive point is not-so-positive. Hope this helps x
