Options

- in contrast
- nevertheless
- conversely
Show the answer and the worked solution
Correct answer: A. for instance
Worked solution
- Delhi is one instance of the general claim about cities.
- For instance introduces an example.
Answer: for instance.
The idea
A general statement followed by a specific case calls for an example connector: for instance, for example, notably.
Shortcut. Delhi withdrawing old diesel cars is itself a ban on older vehicles, so the second half agrees with the first. That rules out all three opposing connectors (in contrast, nevertheless, conversely) at once.
Common trap. "in contrast" — 'several cities' against one named city looks like a comparison, but Delhi did exactly what the other cities did, so nothing is being contrasted.
