Read the sentence from paragraph 3:
Or, rather, it was almost empty, there was a single pouch of energy drink
sitting on a shelf in the back.
What is the most effective way to combine these clauses?
Or, rather, it was almost empty since there was a single pouch of
energy drink sitting on a shelf in the back.
It was almost empty, so there was a single pouch of energy drink
sitting on a shelf in the back.
Because there was a single pouch of energy drink sitting on a shelf
in the back, it was almost empty.
Or rather, there was a single pouch of energy drink sitting on a shelf
in the back although it was almost empty.
