Complete the sentence: The results were inconclusive; ____, further research is needed.
Correct answer: B. therefore
- A. however
- B. therefore
- C. in contrast
- D. for example
Explanation
Inconclusive results logically lead to the need for more work, so a consequence connector is required. However and in contrast both signal opposition, which does not fit the relationship between the two clauses. For example would introduce an illustration rather than a conclusion.
