Read the following sentence carefully:

“Despite the heavy rain, Sarah continued her lecture with remarkable clarity and confidence. Her students, however, seemed distracted and tired.”

Sign the best explanation about the grammatical and discourse functions in the excerpt:

Alternativa A:
The conjunction despite indicates cause, explaining why the students were distracted.
Alternativa B:
The adjectives remarkable and tired serve only a stylistic purpose, with no impact on discourse interpretation.
Alternativa C:
The adverb however signals contrast between Sarah’s performance and her students’ reactions, contributing to discourse coherence.
Alternativa D:
The past tense verbs (continued, seemed) are irrelevant for sequencing events, as the discourse could function equally well in the present tense.
Alternativa E:
The phrase with remarkable clarity and confidence functions as a subject complement that primarily signals contrast.
