Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable conjunction:
______________ I apologized, he looked as if he wanted to strangle me.

• A. In spite of
• B. Even though
• C. Because
• D. Therefore

Answer 1

The correct option is B Even though

A conjunction is a word used to connect other words, phrases or clauses.

Subordinating conjunction connects or joins an independent clause with a subordinate clause.

'Because' is used to provide a reason for something.

'In spite of' is used to express that something is unexpected or surprising.

'Even though' is used for emphasizing that a particular situation will remain the same no matter what happens. The given sentence explains the situation which will remain the same even after the apology.

'Therefore' is used mostly in argumentation when one statement logically follows from another.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
