In this paragraph, we concede that there is another possible way to solve the problem or to consider what was said. And we give some arguments as to why there's other way to think of the problem could also be correct. So, to show that this is going to be a different way to consider the proposition, we start off by using words that indicate an opposite alternative.

Perhaps we could start this next paragraph with words like alternatively. On the other hand, on the contrary, conversely from another perspective despite, blah, blah, blah. There are many more.

On the other hand Yes.

I started by saying on the other hand, of course, I could have used any of those words we talked about a little earlier. And did I support my topic sentence with a qualifying sentence or phrase?
