He is faced with a lot of difficulties; ____________ he will never give up.A.while
B.besides
C.nevertheless
D.however答案：C解析：考查词义辨析。根据语境可知，前后两句意思之间存在转折关系。besides表示“除……之外；此外；也”，没有转折的意思，可排除。其他三个连词／副词都可表示转折。但while用作并列连词表示“而，然而”时，主要用于对比两件事物，不符合题意。nevertheless和however均为副词，但nevertheless重让步，意为“尽管如此；不过”；however重转折，意为“然而；仍然”。根据句意“他遇到很多困难，尽管如此，他永远不会放弃”，选C。
