Question

Select a formal word(s) expressing contrast or concession to combine the following sentences:
There was a little chance of success. We didnt give up in spite of facing innumerable challenges.

• A. but
• B. yet
• C. nevertheless
• D. because

Answer 1

The correct option is C nevertheless

'Nevertheless' is used to indicate that the second point made contrasts with the first point. 'But' is used to contrast the ideas. 'Yet' is used to mean nevertheless or however. It carries a sense of negation. 'Because' is used to provide a reason for something.

The given sentence shows the contrast that there was a little chance of success but we didn't give up.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
