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.
