Help an overly dramatic roommate complete their highly formal (and slightly ridiculous) complaint about the kitchen situation by choosing the correct discourse markers for each gap.
I acknowledge your contribution of the premium dish soap; be that as it may, leaving a lasagna pan to soak for three weeks is simply unacceptable.
I find your excuse of being "too busy" completely invalid, inasmuch as I watched you play video games for six hours straight yesterday.
The kitchen is finally clean, albeit smelling rather strongly of industrial bleach and passive-aggression.

"Be that as it may" is a formal way of saying "despite that fact" or "nevertheless." It accepts the previous statement but introduces a contrasting point.

"Inasmuch as" means "since" or "because." It introduces the reason why the excuse is invalid. "Notwithstanding" (despite) and "nevertheless" (however) do not fit the logical cause-and-effect relationship here.

"Albeit" is a formal conjunction meaning "although" or "even though." It is used here to introduce a concession about the state of the clean kitchen.
