Question

All had betrayed him in his hour of need, but there he was, full of hope that the truth will prevail. 

• A. still, he was there, full of hope
• B. although, he was there, full of hope
• C. yet, there he was, full of hope
• D. and there he was, full of hope
• E.

Hint:

Use yet when introducing a contrast between two clauses, as it shows a shift in the situation or idea.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

1. Option A: Changes the word order to "he was there," losing the original inversion.
2. Option B: Also changes word order, and "although" reads awkwardly here.
3. Option C: Keeps "there he was" and uses "yet," which correctly signals contrast.
4. Option D: Keeps word order but "and" fails to show contrast.

Only option C preserves structure and meaning together, so the correct answer is Option C.
