「However」
正解"The brand-new restaurant's food was honestly absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. （ ）, the slow service was painfully slow and the tired staff seemed quite rude" は逆接 = 「However」。形: 文1. However, 文2. = 「しかしながら」、前文と対照的・対立する内容を導く接続副詞。ポイント: however は副詞でカンマ区切り (However, ...)。but (接続詞) と意味は近いが品詞が違う。良い点→悪い点の転換で頻出。2級頻出: however (逆接) と therefore/moreover の論理関係の区別。
「Therefore」
= 結果 ━ 逆接ではない ━ therefore は「したがって」(結果)、逆接は however。
「Moreover」
= 追加 ━ 逆接ではない ━ moreover は「さらに」(追加)、逆接は however。
「For example」
= 例示 ━ 逆接ではない ━ for example は例示、逆接は however。
