easy · LSAT Reading Comprehension
A passage on mixed-use zoning first recounts how cities long kept residential and commercial districts strictly separate. The author then opens the next sentence with 'However' and proceeds to describe the hidden costs of that separation.
The word 'However' as used at that point in the passage functions primarily to
- mark the turn from neutral background toward the author's critique of the prevailing arrangement.
- underscore the absolute and unquestionable certainty of the historical facts just then recounted.
- introduce a further supporting reason that reinforces the traditional separation of the districts.
- supply a concrete and vivid illustration of the benefits of keeping the two districts separate.
- establish that the author regards the question of urban zoning as fundamentally unresolvable here.
