Explanation

### Concept & Logical Connectives The connector needs to establish the relationship between two simultaneous, ongoing actions happening in the same physical setting (tourists sitting inside vs. the animal attacking outside). ### Step-by-Step Solution - Analyze Statement A: Sets the scene of tourists safely sitting inside a mesh-covered vehicle. - Analyze Statement B: Describes a parallel action occurring outside the vehicle—a big cat attempting to bite the bumper. - Evaluate Connectors: - (i) However: Used to introduce a contradiction. While there is a contrast in safety vs. danger, the primary relationship here is time and observation, not direct contradiction. - (ii) Though: Used for concession, which breaks the grammatical flow if placed between these two independent clauses. - (iii) Meanwhile: Perfectly captures two concurrent events happening in the same scenario. - The correct combined sentence is: "In the clip, a group of tourists is seen sitting inside a safari vehicle, with wired mesh covering the windows; meanwhile, as the car stands on the road for a better view, the big cat attempts..." ### Exam Strategy & Shortcut When a sentence describes a vivid scene with two continuous actions occurring at the exact same time in different parts of that scene (inside vs. outside), the chronological transition word "meanwhile" is the most effective choice. ### Common Pitfall Selecting "However" by mistakenly assuming the sentence intends to contrast the tourists' calm with the animal's aggression, ignoring that the primary link is the synchronicity of the events in the video clip. ### Final Answer Therefore, the correct answer is **Only (iii)**.
