Explanation:

- The passage discusses a situation where people refused to leave despite the danger.

- Option 1, "Because," would suggest a reason is coming next, which does not fit the context.

- Option 2, "Moreover," adds additional information, implying similarity, not contrast.

- Option 3, "Whether," introduces an alternative or decision but is not suitable here.

- Option 4, "However," is used to present a contrast to the previous statement, which fits the context as it contrasts those who left with those who refused to leave.
