Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

"While lions live in Africa, they are not the only big cats that live on the continent."

The sentence connects the two different ideas with the word "while".

The word 'while' is commonly used as a transition word linking two contrasting ideas.

The sentence is stating that lions live in Africa but they are not the only type of big cat that live there.

Option B should be the correct answer.

Hope this helps.
