Question

Select a word(s) (a formal one) expressing contrast or concession to combine the following sentence:
She was filled with emotions that were utterly absurd, that she despised, yet that ______________ she was feeling so strongly she could not shake them off.

• A. nevertheless
• B. anyway
• C. beside
• D. but

Answer 1

The correct option is A nevertheless

'Nevertheless' is used to indicate that the second point made contrasts with the first point.

'But' is used to contrast the ideas.

'Anyway' is used when something is done without regard to what happens. 'Beside' means by alongside or near.

The given sentence can be completed by using 'nevertheless' as the contrast is shown for her that she was filled with emotions yet was so strong.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
