In fact vs. In addition

Post by thanh thanh »

Hello, I have trouble giving the answer to the following sentence:

When two players play a tennis match, the loser doesn't cherish any grudge against the winner. _______, the loser congratulates his successor and shakes hands with him.
A. In fact
B. In addition

I think A is the answer but I want to know if B is interchangeable in the sentence? Please tell me the reason. Thanks in advance.
