Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
_____________ quickly you work, you'll never catch up.

• A. Although
• B. Even though
• C. Moreover
• D. However

Answer 1

The correct option is D However

Linking adverbs show a relationship between two clauses or sentences, for example - a sequence in time, cause and effect or, contrast between two things.

The given sentence conveys, no matter how quickly the speaker works, he/she still won't be able to catch up. Thus, according to the meaning of the sentence, the correct option should be Option D, as it means 'in whatever way; regardless of how'.

Option A and B can be used interchangeably. It means 'in spite of the fact that'. These options are incorrect, as it does not bring out the intended meaning.

Option C is incorrect, as 'moreover' is generally used to add further information.
