訳 · Translation
As a child I disliked books. However, after a teacher introduced an interesting story, I gradually grew to love reading.
正解 · Answer
ところが
解説 · Why
The writer disliked books, but then unexpectedly grew to love reading. ところが ("however, unexpectedly") marks this reversal.
誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
したがって — したがって draws a logical conclusion, not a surprising reversal.
そのため — そのため marks a result, but disliking books did not cause the change.
つまり — つまり restates; the sentences describe a change, not a restatement.
