A Correct answer
Explanation

Albeit means 'although' or 'even though' - it introduces a concessive clause. The sentence means the coach had a sympathetic presence even though it was also commanding. 'Furthermore' adds information, 'because' introduces causation, and 'not only' starts a correlative construction.
