Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: however
Solution : The right option is the fourth option .
Explanation : The use of however in the sentence serves as a transition or contrast. It suggests that while more than just a few grams of calcium supplements a day may be beneficial, there is a potential downside—it can lead to stomach upset. "However" is used to introduce a contrasting idea or a qualifier to the previous statement.
Therefore, the complete sentence would be, "More than just a few grams a day, however , can lead to stomach upset and even kidney stones."
