Can someone me i'm confused can u give answers i have no clue how to answer this

For the explanation part, write: "there are two independent clauses that are joined by 'and'. "

PLEASE RATE AS THE BRAINLIEST ANSWER! THANK YOU! :)

answer: inference

explanation:

an inference can be understood as a conclusion to which a person is able to get based on reasoning. it is the same as a deduction, a guess, an assumption.   in the sentence presented, the conjunction "but" gives the readers an idea of contrast, and, therefore, allows them to induce that despite the opponent's characteristics, andrea had something different that made her win.

so is this a rhetorical question?
