In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fill(s) the gap(s):

'Be that as _____ we are determined to get to the root of the matter!' shouted the officer

Answer Details

The best phrase to fill the gap in the sentence is "it may".

In this case, the officer is acknowledging that there may be some obstacles, but still insists that they will get to the root of the matter.
