Question

Although : Nevertheless :: Though : ?

• A. Therefore
• B. Yet
• C. However
• D. Simultaneously

Hint:

Match the logical relationship (contrast, cause, result), not just similar words.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

This question requires understanding of the analogy that involves pairs of conjunctions. Let's break down the logic:

1. Understanding the Pair "Although : Nevertheless":
   • Although and Nevertheless are used to express contrast.
   • Although introduces a contrast or contradiction with what follows after, just as Nevertheless serves to highlight an unexpected continuation of an action despite the preceding statement.
2. Considering the Pair "Though : ?":
   • Though is similar to Although in that it is used to indicate a contrast or contradiction.
   • The conjunction that serves the function similar to Nevertheless in this parallel would be However, as it is also used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said earlier.
3. Ruling Out Other Options:
   • Therefore: Used to indicate a logical conclusion, not a contrast. Hence, not suitable.
   • Yet: While it expresses contrast, the logical pairings in the analogy better match However.
   • Simultaneously: Indicates two things happening at the same time, not suitable for expressing contrast.

Thus, the correct answer is However.
