Il a réussi son examen, ___ il n'avait presque pas révisé.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. alors qu'

  1. Step 1: The two facts contrast: success despite little revision. Step 2. 'Alors que' introduces a contrast with the indicative. Answer: alors qu'. Why not the others: 'parce que' gives a cause, and 'pourvu que' and 'afin que' take the subjunctive and express a wish or a purpose.
