what is the source of this question? it doesn't seem official to me.

original poster: if this is really from GMATPREP, please attach a screen shot of the original problem. thanks.

you cannot use "however", "therefore", "furthermore", "nevertheless", etc. as conjunctions in american english.

ex:
X is Y, however A is B --> incorrect (run-on sentence)
X is Y; however, A is B --> correct

same for the others, including "furthermore".

in british english the former would actually be considered correct, but, unfortunately, this is not a test of british english.

sorry - 1000sc is one of our banned sources. please see the forum rules (top of first page in every folder), where the banned sources are listed.

also, this is the GMAT PREP VERBAL folder - you shouldn't be posting anything in this folder that is not from the OFFICIAL GMATPREP SOFTWARE.
if you're going to post materials from another (non-banned) source, please post them in the MGMAT verbal folder (for MGMAT problems) or in the general verbal folder (all other non-banned sources). thanks.
