Answer 1

## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the role of the word "however" in the given excerpt. The word "however" is a transitional word that is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously.## Step 2In the given excerpt, the author, Dan Falk, presents an idea that many Shakespearian scholars believe that Shakespeare was not aware of the Scientific Revolution that was happening around him. This is a contrasting idea to the previous statement that Falk is about to present, which is that he argues that Shakespeare was mindful of the developments happening in astronomy during his day and used them as inspiration in his plays.## Step 3Therefore, the word "however" is used to signal a shift in the author's argument, moving from the idea that Shakespeare was not aware of the Scientific Revolution to the idea that he was indeed aware and used this knowledge in his plays.
