Solution

The correct option is B Therefore
From the statement we understand two things. The first is that Matthew always studies and the second is that he gets perfect grades. Thus, we can say that Mathew always studies and as a result he gets perfect grades. Thus, the transition word connecting the two points must express result or conclusion.
Option A is incorrect. 'Also' expresses addition and thus, it cannot be the answer.
Option B is correct. 'Therefore' expresses result or conclusion and so it is the right answer.
Option C is correct. 'However' expresses contradiction and so, it is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect. 'In spite of' expresses limitation or opposition and so, it is also incorrect.
