Gurus, I am new to this forum as a registered user though I have been visiting it for last 6 months or so.
While learning linking words in English, I came across following two practice questions in my learning material.
1- The weather of Bangladesh was terrible. ___, we decided to delay our trip to Dhaka.
a. Subsequently b. Besides c. Therefore
2- _____ the literacy rate of City A increased dramatically in the first quarter, it decreased sharply in the second quarter.
a. Though b. Instead c. However
In the first question, I believe "a" is the correct word but "c" seems to be equally correct in the sentence. Similarly, in the second question, "a" is the correct one but "c" equally seems to be a fit in there.
Please help.
