Help the food critic finish her scathing review of a confusingly named restaurant by dragging the correct contrast words into the blanks.

The chef claims the dish is a masterpiece. I found it tasted exactly like soggy cardboard, though.

The flaming dessert was visually stunning; however, it exploded when I touched it with my spoon.

I will probably eat there again next week although the prices are completely astronomical.

When placed at the very end of a sentence, we use the adverb "though" to show contrast with the previous sentence. "Although" cannot be used at the end of a sentence.

"However" is a conjunctive adverb that connects two independent clauses. It is typically preceded by a semicolon (or a period) and followed by a comma.

I will probably eat there again next week although the prices are completely astronomical.

"Although" is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a dependent clause (subject + verb). "Despite" is incorrect here because it must be followed by a noun phrase or gerund, not a full clause.
