Answer 1

## Step 1The sentence is discussing the concept of an "Elvis taxon" in paleontology, which is a misidentified look-alike of a presumed extinct species. The sentence is trying to contrast this concept with the idea that an Elvis taxon is not the real thing.## Step 2The sentence is using the word "however" to introduce a contrast or contradiction. The word "however" is used to show a contrast or contradiction between two ideas.## Step 3In English grammar, when "however" is used to introduce a contrast or contradiction, it is typically followed by a comma. This is because "however" is an adverb that is used to introduce a contrast or contradiction, and it is usually followed by a comma to separate it from the rest of the sentence.## Step 4Looking at the options, only option C "however, it" correctly uses a comma after "however" to introduce the contrast.
