Choose the option that completes the second sentence so that it means the same as the first, using the key word.
First sentence: Despite being tired, he carried on working.
Key word: ALTHOUGH
Second sentence: ___, he carried on working.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Although he was tired
- Step 1: Check what grammar the key word needs. Step 2. 'Although' needs a full clause. Answer: Although he was tired. Why not the others: 'Although being' is not a clause, the present tense mismatches the past and 'although of' is wrong.
