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

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
