________, the leader's comments came a day after the party's performance in the region was not encouraging.
EnglishFill in the Blanks
- ADespite
- BEngagingly
- CMoreover
- DEndearingly
Explanation
The sentence adds a further related fact — the timing of the leader's comments after a poor party performance — to the ongoing account. 'Moreover' is the additive discourse marker for such supplementary information. 'Despite' needs a noun phrase, while 'Engagingly' and 'Endearingly' describe manner, not discourse function.
