こんにちは、ちか先生です。
Konnichiwa, it’s Chika Sensei.
Today, I’m sharing a practice from my exclusive course.
This one’s for pre-advanced learners (JLPT N2).

[Answer]
あの野球選手の名前は、国内は（3 もとより）、海外でも知られている。
That baseball player is well-known not only in Japan, but also overseas.
AはもとよりBも
= “not only A, but also B” / “A is of course true, and so is B.”
It emphasizes that A is expected, but B is impressive or noteworthy too.
In this sentence:
It’s natural that the player is well-known in Japan.
And what’s more, he’s also famous overseas!
So, もとより is the best choice.
Other Choices:
ともかく
= “setting aside ~” / “let’s not focus on ~”
But “(海外で)も” in the sentence means “also,”
so the sentence includes both “domestic” and “overseas.”
We can’t set one aside.
ものの
= “although” / “even though”
ぬきで
= “without” / “excluding”
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
