Read the sentence. I went to the mall after school; [WOL], I did not have much money to spend. Which transitional word would best complete the sentence?

The second part contrasts with going to the mall: even though the speaker went, they had little money to spend. “However” signals that contrast, so it best completes the sentence. “Secondly,” “additionally,” and “further” introduce another point rather than a contrasting one.
