Read the sentence and choose the most appropriate transition.
Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus; _____ , he was short, so he had to climb up a sycamore tree. however therefore moreover as a result
however
therefore
moreover
as a result



Answer :

Answer:

Therefore, the correct answer is "however".

Explanation:

The most appropriate transition word to complete the sentence is "however".

The sentence states that Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus, and the transition word should indicate a contrast or a change in the situation. "However" is the best choice, as it suggests that despite Zacchaeus wanting to see Jesus, there was a challenge or obstacle (being short) that he had to overcome by climbing a tree.

The other options do not fit as well:

- "Therefore" would suggest a logical consequence, which is not the case here.

- "Moreover" would add additional information, but it does not capture the contrast in the sentence.

- "As a result" would indicate a direct consequence, which is not the focus of the sentence.
