however在GMAT中不可作连词使用，只能作副词?

如题

向大家求证~

多谢

大全644       Since 1975 the number of women in upper-level management in American corporations have increased by 25 percent; female executives’ salaries, however, still lag behind those of their male counterparts.

(A) have increased by 25 percent; female executives’ salaries, however, still lag

(B) has increased by 25 percent, however much their salaries lag

(C) have increased 25 percent; female executives’ salaries, however, still have lagged

(D) has increased by 25 percent; female executives’ salaries, however, still lag

(E) have increased 25 percent; their salaries, however, still lag

今天做这道题 除了语义awkward 不知道B是不是however的用法也出错

如果however不能作连词 那么B显然错误

之前看别人在cd上讨论时说过however不能做连词

特向大家求证

答案 D

谢谢～

从语法角度说 however作为连词的时候应该可以向and一样联接两个单独的句子

从语言习惯上 更倾向于放在句首

我的理解 不知道正确与否

呵呵
