Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conjunction "but" is the most appropriate choice to contrast the fact that Ms. Forsythe's employer installed a telephone in her car with the fact that she rarely answers it. "However" implies a weaker contrast, and "and" would indicate that the two are related in some way. The conjunction "but" is the most appropriate here as it shows a contrast between the employer's intention and Ms. Forsythe's action. The conjunctions "however" and "so" do not create the right kind of relationship between the two parts of the sentence.
