Question

I didn't like Maths. I had to study Algorithms.
Combine the above sentence with a conjunction that expresses a contrast:

• A. Although I didn't like Maths, I had to study Algorithms.
• B. I didn't like Maths in spite of that I had to study Algorithms.
• C. I didn't like Maths, so I had to study Algorithms.
• D. I didn't like Maths and I had to study Algorithms.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Although I didn't like Maths, I had to study Algorithms.

We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.

The subordinating conjunctions used to express contrast in a sentence are though, although, as, however, whoever, whatever and notwithstanding.

And, so do not express contrast. We can thus eliminate options C and D as incorrect answers.

Option A is the correct answer as the conjunction 'although' joins the two sentence to express a contrast.

Option B is incorrect as 'in spite of' is a prepositional phrase and not a conjunction.
