"Day We Discovered Cause of "White Death""

Question

by Dr. Howard Markel

Never a commanding lecturer, Koch had a thin, reedy voice and tended to interject his phrases with an annoying amount of “ums” and “ers.” But on March 24, 1882, when he presented his findings at a monthly meeting of the Physiological society of Berlin, he did so with clarity and elegant logic.

Use the excerpt from “The Day We Discovered the Cause of the 'White Death'”, which describes a physician in the late 1800s, to answer the question.

Which transition word in the passage indicates a comparison and contrast text structure?
