· The passage begins with a statement, and the next clause contradicts it by stating the saying is "not universally true."
· "However" is the correct choice as it introduces a contrast.
· Other options:
o "Moreover": "Moreover" is used to add information that strengthens or supports the previous statement. It suggests that what follows will provide additional details or arguments in favor of the first point. In the context of the sentence, "Moreover" wouldn't work because the second sentence is contrasting the first one, not supporting it.
o "Therefore": Suggests a conclusion, not contrast; incorrect.
o "Furthermore": "Furthermore" is similar to "Moreover" and is used to introduce additional information that supports or adds to what was previously said.
Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
