<p>Should it be...
"Furthermore, John is not lacking in intelligence either"
or
"However, John is not lacking in intelligence either"</p>
<p>PLEASE AND THANK YOU</p>
<p>“However, John is not lacking in intelligence either” I think, though it’s hard to be sure without reading it in context.</p>
<p>Either could be correct in context, more information is needed.</p>
<p>I basically agree with Dionysus58. “However” sounds better but I cannot give an accurate answer unless I know the surrounding content</p>
<p>Okayy, here is the context (this is for my essay): __<strong><em>, located in </em></strong><strong><em>, provides a lovely rural environment and amiable weather. The boisterous setting of the city has never thrilled me and </em></strong> location includes none of the distractions typically present there. (However?), ______ is not lacking in academics either</p>
<p>I know this is an ACT forum but nobody is answering my grammar questions :[ I censored the name of the University just in case they perform a plagarism check :]</p>
<p>I was thinking ‘However’ but since I provided little information, I want to put “Furthermore”</p>
<p>Furthermore is correct in the context given.</p>
<p>^Yup, there is no change in the authors meaning, he is simply adding to what he had previously stated.</p>
