(AI giải đề cho tôi)
Câu 22 đứng sau đoạn nêu các thách thức của đô thị hóa và trước câu 'It can lead to economic growth... Cities can become centers of culture...' — đoạn chuyển sang nêu lợi ích, nên cần câu chuyển tiếp tương phản. C 'Despite these challenges, urbanisation also brings benefits' đúng ngữ pháp (Despite + danh từ) và đúng nghĩa. A sai vì 'Because these challenges' thiếu 'of' và nghĩa không hợp; B sai vì 'Although' phải theo sau mệnh đề; D sai vì 'urbanisation also have' lỗi chủ-vị (phải là 'has') và nghĩa không hợp.
